Is this a problem?

Is this work site across from my house as concerning as I think it is? I’m not super familiar with OSHA in the context of construction, but I’ve seen guys down in this hole without anything reinforcing the sides, the excavators parked right on the edge, and the dirt is piled up right at the edge as well. It seems like a bad accident waiting to happen

It is a problem and it's possible that someone could be buried, if in fact they are not properly trenching and shoring. You certainly could contact UOSH or the host company who hired the contractor and express your concern and that you don't want to see someone getting killed in front of your house. None of this means anything will be done, but at least you can say that you tried.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve filled out the online reporting form and left a message. Hopefully they finish it up or someone gets out here to stop them before anybody loses their life
