What depth of trench is allowed to be dug without any protective measures such as shoring or cutback angle?

1.2 m (3' 11")
1.5 m (4' 9")
1.8 m (5' 11")
2.0 m (6' 7")

The correct answer is: 1.2 m (3' 11")

According to OSHA regulations, any trench that is deeper than 1.2 meters (3 feet 11 inches) must have protective measures in place to prevent collapse. This includes shoring, benching, or sloping the sides of the trench. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they exceed the maximum depth allowed without protective measures. It is important to follow these regulations to ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents.
