OSHA has finished a analysis of its excavations standard, issued in 1989 to reduce deaths and harms from excavation and trenching activities in the structure industry, and has found that the standard has condensed deaths from about 90 to 70 per year as real construction activity has augmented by 20 percent. The analysis also stated that the standard has not had an off-putting impact on small business, that the cost of control technology has been decreased and that the standard is explicable and does not disagree with other rules. Commenter agreed that the standard needs to be retained. Based on this review, OSHA determined that the excavations standard needs to stay in effect.
