Trenching And Excavation Safety Training
This 8-hour virtual instructor-led training (VILT) course reminds workers that there is a safe way to enter and exit the trench, keep materials away from the edge of the trench, look for standing water or atmospheric hazards, and never enter a trench unless it has been properly inspected.
