Well, I was interested in learning more about this, so I did.

There is actually quite a bit more to the story than one would initially think. This story sorta reads like a thriller novel. It's 10 pages, but I thought it was worth the read.

Sadly as I am reading this sort of thing goes on all the time and the real colors of OSHA are becoming blinding.

I remember the largest fight that I had with a boss was working for a minicipality. We had dug a ditch with a (I think) 13" bucket? I was the only one that could use a shovel in the ditch. Any who... The ditch as the end was well over 6' deep and being that I only stand 5'6" it was very scary. It had rained and I refused to get back in the ditch. I dang near got fired for bucking the boss.
I was buried once up to my knees and talk about scary... You can't move. My grandfather has told me that he was once buried to his waist- I can't imagine.
Safe digging to everyone... I would not want to lose a co-worker, friend, family member or even a local competitor to this tragic type of death.
So sad...

I've been buried just above the knees. It doesn't sound that bad when you say it, but indeed it was extremely scary.
