Trenching & Excavation Competent Person Training

Cave-ins are among the most dangerous and rapidly fatal hazards in construction, and OSHA requires a trained competent person to classify soils, select protective systems, and inspect excavations before each work shift and after any event that could affect conditions. PS&M's Trenching & Excavation Competent Person Training prepares designated employees to meet these requirements — covering soil classification, protective systems (sloping, shoring, and shielding), water controls, access and egress, and inspection responsibilities.

This course is critical for contractors, utility companies, municipalities, and any employer whose workers enter or work adjacent to excavations. Proper competent person training reduces the risk of catastrophic incidents and protects your organization from serious OSHA violations.
