TRENCH AND EXCAVATION
TRENCH AND EXCAVATION
Trenching and excavation is recognized as one of the most hazardous construction operations. Therefore, OSHA requires a Competent Person to complete daily inspections of excavations for conditions that are or could be hazardous.
This Course in Trenching and Excavation is recommended for inspectors, auditors, safety and health professionals and those personnel responsible for writing, auditing, or training employees with an active role in trenching and excavations. This course was developed and designed to educate participants to train about all aspects of 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P Excavations.
This program provides the elements to develop a good Trenching and Excavation Training Program to include:
- Determine training needs
- Identify goals and objectives
- Develop learning activities (i.e., lecture, on-the-job, hands-on, discussion, or a combination of all of these)
- Conduct the training – each student will be responsible to develop and present an assigned topic on Trenching and Excavations to the class and be evaluated on that presentation.
