Trenching and excavation work poses serious hazards to all workers. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car. An unprotected trench can be an early grave. Employers must ensure that workers enter trenches only after adequate protections are in place to address cave-in hazards. Other potential hazards associated with trenching work include falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and hazards from mobile equipment.
The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe procedures for working in and around a trench environment on a construction site. The user will learn:
The Trenching and Excavation Simulation is ideal for future employees or supervisors who will work in or around trenches on construction sites.
