At Southern Colorado Insurance Center, we share your concern that excavation sites are serious business. Youngsters find digging fascinating. They love the sight and sound of the heavy equipment and the discovery of whatever lies under the soil. Whenever you describe your work as an excavator to anyone under the age of 12, you hear that one pressing question: “Have you ever dug up dinosaur bones?”

Of course, you’ll respond to curious youngsters that, while your work is fascinating, dig sites and trenches can be dangerous even for experienced professionals. These places are strictly off-limits for young people. On the job site, you make it clear that all visitors need to stay safe by respecting fenced-off work areas and hardhat requirements. Unfortunately, dinosaur bones aren’t one of your big worries. You’re much more concerned about OSHA reports about trench collapses, which claim the lives of two workers every month.
