Excavation is the most dangerous of all construction operations. More workers are killed or seriously injured in and around excavations than in other phases of construction work, and that's why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires a competent person to oversee all excavation and trenching jobsites. The competent person must have specific training in, and be knowledgeable about, soil analysis, the use of protective systems, and the requirements of OSHA Subpart P.
Intended for construction, utility workers, and supervisors working in or around trenches and other types of excavations. This 8-hour course instructs the student in the identification of hazards, soils and analysis, use of protective systems and regulatory requirements. This allows them to be designated by their employer as a “Competent Person.” Curriculum includes: pre-evacuation procedures, trenching and shoring methods, trench safety (weather, soil changes, vibration, spoil bank location, etc.), equipment ventilation, entry/exit procedure, monitoring and communications.
When:
TBA or on-site courses available

Let CAGC’s On-Site Safety Trainer and Consultant teach your
employees how to deal with an OSHA inspection should it happen
at your jobsite. This one day class will help all employees
feel more confident during and OSHA inspection and teach them
various techniques to help make the visit as smooth and
compliant as possible. Half of the day will be classroom
instruction on understanding the parts of an OSHA visit, how to
conduct yourself, dealing with the informal conference, and the
“Do’s and Don'ts” of an OSHA inspections. The second half of the class is an actual
jobsite “mock OSHA” visit of one of your projects in which
students will walk through the process as the instructor plays
the part of the inspector looking for actual OSHA violations
that you can correct immediately and conducting employee
interviews.
This class will help you prevent costly mistakes caused by
ill-informed employees who believe they are doing the best in
the interest of your company during the inspection when in fact,
they could be supplying more information to the inspector than
is necessary.
Price: $950 for entire (25
person maximum)
