Trenching and shoring are essential tools during any excavation. This in-depth video focuses on OSHA-regulated safety measures and covers protection from hazards with water accumulation and hazardous atmospheres, and the design of support, shield, and other protective systems.

While working in trenches and excavations, there is absolutely no room for risk-taking. Any condition you ignore or overlook can be fatal. Knowing proper soil classification techniques is vital to safe excavation operations. For each excavation soil testing must be completed by a competent person in order to determine what type shoring system is required to keep employees safe. This program trains your employees on how soil is tested and what the responsibilities of the competent person are.

It occurs year after year, workers needlessly dying in trench cave-ins. The tragedy lies with the fact that these workers should have never have been in a situation in which their lives were on the line. Based on National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health statistics, an average of 60 workers die in cave-ins annually. According to NIOSH, these deaths are entirely preventable. This video program is designed to train your employees what the responsibilities of competent person are, along with what is required to keep in compliance with CFR 1926.650.

Trenching and excavation work--it's the starting point of most construction projects. Before you dig, there's a lot you need to know, because the risks, just like the weight of the soil, are too great to take a chance. This type of work is dangerous, with more than 100 workers killed in trench accidents each year. So if you work in a trench or excavation, no matter what your job, you need to know the safety requirements and that's the purpose of this program.

Help employees avoid accidents by teaching them safe excavation-site procedures. This in-depth video focuses on OSHA-regulated safety measures and covers on protection from hazards with water accumulation and hazardous atmospheres, and the design of support, shield, and other protective systems.

Teaches how to avoid dangerous cave-ins and other accidents, and meets training requirements for trenching.
