Two kids exploring a hole on a house construction site in NC were killed yesterday. The six and seven year old cousins climbed into a trench, supposedly over 15 feet deep, that was dug earlier in the day by the guy building the house. The photo below shows the scene.

What a poignant reminder for safe trenches and also for covering up work to keep curious kids from getting into trouble. We work in a dangerous business, we need to continue to remind each other to work to the highest safety standards.
