Specific Excavation Requirements (US)

Course overview

If not handled properly, excavation work can pose significant risks, such as cave-ins, falling loads, and hazardous atmospheres. Understanding specific excavation requirements is essential for ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards. We have designed this course to help your team understand these requirements. This training is not only OSHA-compliant but also helps drive best practices across your workplace. This training can be delivered to your team today, completed in under 15 minutes, and accessed from any device. We have 25+ other OSHA refresher topics covered in our Course Library. What do we mean by refresher training? Some OSHA standards mandate annual training requirements. They require employers to refresh workers annually on specific excavation requirements and save these retraining records for compliance. With SC Training, you can easily deliver refresher training to on-site workers that can be completed in the same time it takes to have a toolbox talk. You can also send reminders to their mobile devices and track progress and completion for seamless compliance. Who is the training for? This training is for safety professionals and workers in industries such as the construction industry who have received their OSHA DOL Card or last received OSHA training more than 12 months ago.
