Trenching & Shoring Awareness training is offered by UCI Environmental Health & Safety. Environmental Health & Safety Training Specialist, manages the safety training program on UC Irvine's campus.
We create, deliver and track required training for UCI faculty and staff. These courses are primarily delivered online via the UC Learning Center (UCLC), but some courses are held in-person.
For individual employees, required training is identified by completing the Safety Training Self-Assessment (STSA), which is also available in the UC Learning Center (UCLC).
The STSA identifies the federal, state, and locally mandated safety training you are required to take. STSA results are viewable by you and your supervisor.
Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) is a department within the Division of Finance and Administration (DFA); EHS strives to provide reliable, innovative, and proactive services to the campus community. Our goal is to integrate safety into the culture of our community while supporting academic and research excellence.
The result is a safe and healthy environment with appropriate compliance, protection of assets, and efficient business processes.
Our team at EHS has developed a Environmental Health & Safety Services Overview document to provide detailed information on the breadth and scope of our services and responsibilities at UCI. This document was developed to explain direct services offered and provide clarity related to EHS work processes for new faculty, department/unit leadership, staff, and non-campus stakeholders (e.g., CALOSHA, Orange County, etc.).
This document showcases EHS services that illustrate the complexity of our work, how the staff interacts with campus units and organizations, and the various efforts and initiatives we utilize to achieve environmental, health, and safety compliance at UCI.
This course covers OSHA Standards related to excavation and trenching. Topics include practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and un-shored slopes. Introduction to various types of shoring, soil Classification, and protective systems will be emphasized.
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.
Focuses on the skills required for technician-level trench rescue, including site operations, victim management, PPE and rescue equipment use and maintenance, soil physics and classifications, collapse causes and types, patient removal and packaging, protective shoring systems.
This course addresses excavations for ALL industries, and is intended for all workers, including managers, supervisors, superintendents, foremen, operators, and safety personnel.
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.
