Participants are taught from OSHA’s excavation standard (29 CFR 1926-Subpart P) which requires workers in trenches and excavations to be protected. Can-ins are perhaps the most feared trenching hazard; but other potentially fatal hazards exist, including asphyxiation, toxic fumes, drowning.
Trenching & Excavation training is offered by Contractors' Safety Council. The CSCCB delivers safety and site-specific training and job safety orientations to contractors, as well as employees of eleven local refining and chemical plants.
Learning about the different techniques and terminology used in excavations such as trenching, wall shafts, and underpinning is knowledge that most construction workers and supervisors should pursue.Â
Training is a critical component of a good safety program. Untrained employees are at serious risk of death or injury. Our Training program covers what is required by OSHA and MSHA. We also do job site visits as part of our safety program and bring them back to the classroom to share with students.
OSHA requires a competent person to be present during most trenching and excavating activities (29 CFR 1926.650-652). The competent person must be familiar with choosing a soil type, choosing and properly installing a protective system.
