Excavation activities in trenches are some of the riskiest in construction. They involve various types of work that must be done safely. Some of the risks include cave-ins, injuries from moving equipment, and being exposed to harmful air.
Workers need to know the hazards involved, how to do thorough inspections, what protective systems to use, and how to respond in an emergency to keep everyone safe.
This training is designed to teach construction workers about the dangers of excavation and trenching work and how to work safely within or near these areas.
