Yeah, but nobody wins in that pic. You can't get the panels off on the electrical conduits, and the flange is weakened on the pipes. Everyone should be fired.

I'd like to think that pic was taken by an inspector who told them to tear it all out and do it right this time.

I have seen trench boxes in use.

THAT is not a trench box.

The least the guy watching from the ground could do is hold those two metal ladders steady.

That guy’s probably safer under that car like that than the driver was in it.

What you see here actually IS a safety precaution. The steel plates are there to keep the dirt from caving in on top of the guy. The bucket is there to make sure of it. This is how you'd want it done if you were the one down in that pit.
