Let's clear it up - At 5' or deeper you have no option, it must be protected. At less than 5', it must be evaluated by a competent person and determined safe before you can work without protection.
The standard is actually 4 feet or deeper... This happens a lot more than it should. It's too bad that one worker died because of the ignorance of OSHA standards.

Actually its 5' or MORE after inspection by a Competent Person reveals no cave in hazard.

Sorry - the standard dictates 5' or less as required after assessment by a Competent Person.
