Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With all serious and fatal accidents occurring every year in excavation and trench work worldwide, governmental authorities recognize the dangerous nature of excavation and trench work. Regulations have been written containing a series of measures to be followed in order to protect workers in excavation and trench work. This paper sums up a review of regulations and guides in excavation and trench work of several countries. All involve a soil classification based on the description of the soils and the hydraulic conditions and the adoption of safe slopes based on the classification, while, in its current version, the Québec Safety Code for the Construction Industry (S-2.1, r.6) does not mention this important information. Thus, there is a need to update section 3.15.3 of S-2.1, r.6. Since a proposal for soil classification, taking into account the impact of the soft sensitive clay in Québec was not accepted by the review committee of S-2.1, r.6 in 1989, a research project will be submitted soon for funding to review section 3.15.3 of S-2.1, r.6.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
