Two city agencies with extensive digging operations have reinforced safety standards after two Columbus men died Aug. 26 when a 18-foot deep trench collapsed at the Summit Pointe Apartments on Williams Road.
“We have reviewed all our digging safety rules and did some retraining actually before this happened,” said Pat Biegler, director of Public Services for the Columbus Consolidated Government. “We’ve been evaluating our operations and we need some more trench boxes.”
