Did you know that the fatality rate for excavation work is 112% higher than the rate for general construction? With the proper safety training in place, this number would be drastically reduced. That is why OSHA requires a competent person be present at every job site.
This 1 day certification course goes far beyond the basic awareness level and students will walk away understanding the topics including OSHA excavation standards, soil mechanics and soil analysis, protective system planning and selection, job planning related to trench safety, and competent person responsibilities.
