There was a deadly accident at a construction site in Jarrell, Texas on June 28, 2022.  According to reports, two workers were in a twenty foot trench performing work on a sewer line.  The walls collapsed around them, burying them under soil.  Rescue efforts were made, but the workers were unable to be saved.  The two victims’ bodies were recovered 23 hours later.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims.

Tragically, there have been a number of recent deaths on construction projects.   There was a deadly accident at a construction site in Houston, Texas on May 18, 2022.  There was a deadly accident at a construction site in Mahaska County, Iowa on June 1, 2022.  There was a deadly accident at a construction site in Floyd County, Georgia on June 14, 2022.  Two workers were killed in a trench collapse in St. Paul, Minnesota on June 17, 2022.

Despite being a vital part of the economy, construction projects often pose severe hazards both to construction workers and to the general public if precautions are not taken.  Each construction project poses its own unique risks and hazards based on the work being done.  Risks that may present themselves during a project must be carefully evaluated before the job begins.
