Nice to see you paying a bit more attention to the surcharge loads next to those excavations. But it's still not good enough. Imagine a 45 degree line from the base of the excavation to the surface - no spoils/surcharge load should be within that area (unless you're digging in very competent material - think rock, hard sandstone etc), or you're placing the men in the trench at risk.
