Excavation Safety Training is offered by Evolution Safety. Evolution Safety Resources has the expertise and experience required to offer top-level safety training at your organization.

This course provides instruction on the OSHA standards and safety aspects of excavation and trenching. Participants learn the principles of practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and unshored slopes and walls of excavations.

Excavation Safety training course is offered by SafetyPro Resources, LLC. When it comes to creating a safe work environment and maintaining compliance with OSHA regulations, we offer a wide scope of safety training courses including CPR, Excavation, Fall Protection, and Forklift operation.

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.

This program will include a description of the hazards in and around an excavation, a discussion on the duties and role of the qualified person, a discussion on soil classification and testing, and an overview of the protective systems used to support and protect employees in an excavation.
