In this course, we will talk about how to prepare a site for excavation, the hazards present, protective systems that can be implemented, and requirements for those systems. We will also gain an understanding of employer and employee responsibility for training and implementing necessary safety measures. Without proper training, employees could fail to notice small imperfections in systems or equipment that could lead to serious complications, including cave-ins.
The Cal/OSHA Trenching and Excavating Safety Training course consists of content, graphics, audio, self-check non-scored questions, and a final exam.
