Top Rated Trench Safety Stairs

According to data from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, about 60 workers lose their lives in trench-related accidents each year. Most of the accidents that happen are due to trench collapse and the worst part is that cave-ins happen very quickly and often without warning. Workers can become trapped immediately due to the pressure of the soil, which often results in death. One cubic yard of soil is equivalent to 3,000 pounds. That weight is the equivalent of a mid-sized vehicle.

Trench safety is an important factor that we consider here at IEC Covers. It is the reason why we’ve come up with a design that can help increase the safety and security of workers in the trenches. Our trench safety stairs can reduce the risk of accidents; help workers move about the trench safely and can provide an emergency exit if there are signs of a possible cave-in. Let IEC Covers provide you with reliable trench safety stairs for your projects!

There is no doubt that when working in a trench, many workers face the risk of accidents due to cave-ins and other risks. Without trench safety steps, the risk of accidents goes up immensely.

Our Trench Safety Steps Feature:

An Emergency Exit

Probably the biggest reason why trench stairs are important in excavation projects is their ability to give workers a chance to exit the trench section quickly and safely. IEC Covers trench safety stairs can act as an emergency exit if there are impending signs of a collapse.

Safe Ingress and Egress

Excavation projects are very dangerous due to the fact that there is digging on the ground that can potentially collapse without warning. If there is no standard way to ingress or egress from the trench, workers can become confused and may just try to claw their way out of the trench if there is an emergency. Our trench stairs provide workers with an easy-to-see and use device that allows them to go in and out of the trench safely.

Accident Prevention

There is a reason why they are called trench safety steps and if there is one reason why you should install one on your excavation projects, do it for this very one. Trench stairs simply prevent accidents from happening. Compare that from using an ordinary ladder. Ladders are not equipped or designed to be used in trenches or any kind of excavation. If the soil is weak, the ladder can be pushed deeper on the ground due to the weight of the worker using it. There is also a big chance that the worker can slip and have an accident.

Our trench safety stairs are designed not to seep into the wet soil as long as they are installed properly. They also feature anti-slip covers to ensure workers get a good foothold as they go about entering or exiting the trench.
