Regulation[edit]
"Building and construction regulations clearly state that any trial pits that concede deeper than 1.2 metres should be secured against structural collapse, if they are to be entered by people."
This is not the case, current regulations give no guidance on the depth of excavations that should be supported; instead it is to be assessed by risk assessment.
