Trenching & Shoring / 060

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Excavation is the most dangerous of all construction operations. More workers are killed or seriously injured in or around excavations than in any other phases or construction work, and that is why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires a competent person to oversee all excavation and trenching job sites. The competent person must have specific training in, and be knowledgeable about, soil analysis, the use of protective systems, and the requirements of OSHA Sub-part P. Although the responsibility for designating a competent person is the sole responsibility for designating a competent person is the sole responsibility of the employer, this program is designed to simplify the task by providing participants with the information and training needed to become a competent person.
