All excavations are inherently hazardous because of their unstable nature — workers can be seriously injured or killed if the sides of a trench collapse, and even shallow trenches pose significant risks. Trenching and excavation fatalities are among the most preventable in construction — yet cave-ins, hazardous atmospheres, flooding, and struck-by hazards continue to injure and kill workers each year. This 15-minute program covers OSHA's excavation standard, the critical role of the competent person, soil classification, protective systems, and worksite safety procedures.

Please note that OSHA also requires a competent person to inspect excavations daily and after any event that could affect conditions, classify soil, and oversee protective systems. This training provides the foundational knowledge for workers and supervisors, but the competent person designation must be established separately by the employer based on demonstrated knowledge and authority.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"faq-question\"\u003eWhat is a \"competent person\" for excavation work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer\"\u003eOSHA defines a competent person as someone who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions that are hazardous or dangerous to employees, and who has the authority to take prompt corrective measures. For excavation work, the competent person must be able to classify soil types, select appropriate protective systems, and inspect excavations before each work shift.

A cubic yard of soil can weigh over 3,000 pounds — enough to fatally injure a worker even in a relatively shallow trench.
