This type of work presents serious hazards to all workers involved and OSHA has increased the enforcement of excavation and trenching activities throughout the U.S.
To help employers ensure their workers are adequately trained in excavation safety, TargetSolutions developed an all-new course for its Water & Wastewater training catalog: Water Industry Excavation.
Water Industry Excavation uses a variety of engaging approaches to create an immersive learning experience for individuals. Throughout this video-based, 1-hour course, an onscreen instructor covers essential definitions, inspection criteria, potential hazards and the typing and components of excavations. In addition to comprehensive course material, case studies are also discussed to help individuals understand real-life applications of this crucial training.
As learners go through each lesson, they're frequently tested for comprehension with interactive study exercises. Then, upon finishing their excavation safety course, they are given a final exam.
