Course Description:
Trenching and excavation work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than some other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities. This course will address key steps towards preventing or greatly reducing the risk of cave-ins and other excavation related events. The course accomplishes this by walking the student through ways to define soil classifications, raising awareness about the importance of proper preplanning procedures, identifying protective systems, and describing sloping and benching options for different soil classifications.
Course Modules:
MODULE 1: OSHA Standards for Construction - Subpart P Excavations / Soil Classification
MODULE 2: Protective Systems / Sloping and Benching / Shoring and Shielding
Who Should Attend:
The class benefits anyone who works around trenches, whether as an installer, inspector, or design engineer. This workshop raises awareness about OSHA's excavation and trenching standards and identifies safe work practices to protect workers from cave-ins and other hazards on the job site.
