Content Description

All excavations are hazardous because they are inherently unstable. Workers can be seriously injured or killed if the sides of a trench collapse. Unsafe trenches are the major factor in many trenching hazards. Trenches don’t have to be deep for accidents to occur. Digging can be a major cause of concern unless you know proper trenching safety techniques and the OSHA trenching safety rules. This training program was developed to give your workers a solid understanding of the hazards of trenching, excavation and trenching projects, their roles in worksite safety efforts, and methods for protecting themselves and their coworkers.
