(B) A person, when so authorized, may not make any such excavation or construction, except in accordance with the conditions, provisions, limitations and specifications contained in the permit and until that person has erected a guard or fence about the place of the excavation or building, sufficient to prevent persons or animals from being injured by falling into the excavation or by articles falling from the construction.
