There are many projects that include the need for trenching and/or excavation. From construction to civil engineering projects, and more, we rely on excavation for innovation.

The downside? Working in or around trenches and excavation sites can be extremely dangerous, which is why OSHA excavation training is not just a good idea, it is a must!

But you may be wondering, what are the actual dangers or trenching and excavation?

• Cave-Ins – Did you know that cave-ins are the leading cause of construction industry fatalities? Cave-ins typically happen with little warning, which is why it is important to undergo excavation training.
• Hazardous Atmosphere – When oxygen is replaced by hazardous gases like hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or methane, it can create a hazardous atmosphere.
• Flooding – Water accumulation caused by rainfall or other types of floods can weaken walls of excavations and cause drowning or cave-ins.
• Falling Objects – If you are working in a trench or excavation site you may be at risk of falling objects such as tools, rocks, or natural materials.
