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.
