Course Summary:
There is no reason why anyone ever has to die in a trenching accident. Modern technology has provided us with a variety of excellent shoring systems and trench shields. The OSHA excavations standard provides us with a set of clearly written and logical safety rules. Yet every year workers are killed and injured by cave-ins. Employers and employees can expect N.C. Department of Labor safety inspectors to make the most detailed, professional inspections possible whenever such accidents occur.
Learning Objective:
Proper trenching operations are necessary to protect the workers from soil collapse. The basic trenching operations that help make a trench safe for workers are described and illustrated. The methods of shoring installation are also discussed briefly.
This document/course is not intended to be used as a step-by-step guideline in the excavation process.
