(423) The sides of excavations in loose dirt must be braced and shored if the excavations are more than
-
Two feet deep.
-
Three feet deep.
-
Four feet deep.
-
Five feet deep.
Correct Answer
A. Four feet deep.Explanation
Excavations in loose dirt must be braced and shored if they are more than four feet deep. This is because loose dirt is unstable and prone to collapse, which can lead to serious injuries or even fatalities. Bracing and shoring provide support and prevent the sides of the excavation from caving in, ensuring the safety of workers inside. Therefore, it is necessary to take these precautions when the depth exceeds four feet.Rate this question:
