Trenching and Shoring Safety Training

$229.00

This construction employee trenching and shoring safety training video will help keep your company OSHA compliant and your employees injury and accident-free. Employees who work in ditches, trenches, or other excavated sites face great danger. They might be the victim of a cave-in or collapse and be exposed to hazardous gases or other materials. An employee who works in an excavation is twice as likely to be killed on the job than other employees. This training is guided by the OSHA Standards found in 1926.650.

This trenching and shoring safety training video will teach your employees:

  • The dangers faced by workers who work in or around excavations
  • How does OSHA define a trench? What are the maximum dimensions?
  • How to handle utility lines that might carry water, sewage, natural gas, or electrical

  • How to deal with standing water that makes its way into the trench
  • How to deal with other physical hazards of working in a trench, including falls from heights or equipment that might fall into the trench
  • What is a “competent person,” and what is their role in a trenching operation?
  • What rescue equipment should you have on-site when dealing with open trenches? (Safety harnesses, a basket stretcher, breathing apparatus, etc.)

  • What are the four different types of soil, and how does each differ when excavating and trenching?
