Example
An example on what is to be considered as ‘so far as practicable’
would vary in different excavation work. Excavation work can be of
different depth. It can be deep or shallow. For 3 feet excavation,
benching is sufficient and no shoring required. This is because the
risk to injury is very low. If the excavation is very deep, benching is
not sufficient and shoring is needed to be carried out although cost
for shoring is very high. This is because the risk of injury is high
due to occurrences like collapse or landslide.
