Course Description: Participants are instructed using OSHA's excavation Standard (29 CFR 1926-Subpart P) which
requires workers in trenches and excavations to be protected. Cave-ins are perhaps the most feared trenching hazard;
but other potentially fatal hazards exist, including asphyxiation, toxic fumes, drowning, electrocution and explosions.
Protection from the many hazards associated with trenching and excavation is achieved through knowledge of the
environment, technical mastery of support systems, hazard awareness and proper application. Each participant will
receive a manual. Upon successful completion participants will receive a Competent Person Trenching and Excavating Certification Card.
