New Audio Slide Show: Worker Pulled into Ground by Quicksand Condition

Introducing a new audio slide show: Worker Pulled into Ground by Quicksand Condition

This health and safety resource re-enacts an excavation collapse at a sewer construction site, where a worker was pulled down and trapped in the ground when a quicksand condition developed under his feet. Narrated by the investigating officer and featuring animation and photos from the WorkSafeBC investigation, this slide show demonstrates how a failure to control groundwater poses a risk not only to the stability of excavations, but also to the health and safety of workers.
