Trenching and Excavation Training |
|
This course covers OSHA’s Excavation standard through the eyes of the competent person. Participants will be taught field applications in order to help minimize the risks of employee injuries, accidents and equipment failures on the worksite. Hands-on training and field exercises will be used to demonstrate how to conduct a trench inspection and perform a soil sample before, during and after trenching activities. "Competent person" means one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. Other topics include information on what to do before trenching or excavation, competent person roles and responsibilities, soil classification, site inspections, weather considerations, protective support systems, sloping and benching and emergency response for cave-ins. |
