Our OSHA Compliant Trenching and Excavation Competent Person Safety Training is designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills required to serve as competent persons overseeing trenching and excavation activities as per OSHA standards.

This comprehensive training program covers key aspects of trenching and excavation safety, focusing on OSHA's excavation standards (29 CFR 1926 Subpart P) and relevant regulatory requirements. Participants will learn about the hazards associated with trenching and excavation work, including soil instability, cave-ins, hazardous atmospheres, and other potential dangers.

Through interactive discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will gain a deep understanding of the responsibilities and duties of a competent person in trenching and excavation operations. Topics covered include soil classification, protective systems (shoring, shielding, sloping), proper installation and use of protective systems, equipment safety, and emergency response procedures.

Our experienced instructors will provide guidance on conducting site inspections, identifying hazards, and implementing control measures to ensure a safe work environment. Participants will also learn how to effectively communicate safety requirements, conduct daily inspections, and respond to emergencies related to trenching and excavation activities.

This training is essential for construction workers, site supervisors, safety professionals, and anyone involved in trenching and excavation projects. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of competency, demonstrating their ability to fulfill the role of a competent person and uphold OSHA compliance standards in trenching and excavation operations.
