WHO SHOULD ATTEND

  • Utility construction and maintenance personnel

Excavation and trenching are among the most hazardous construction operations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Excavation standards, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1926, Subpart P, contain requirements for excavation and trenching operations. This booklet highlights key elements of the standards and describes safe work practices that can protect workers from cave-ins and other hazards.

This training program equips linemen and crew leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the duties of a “Competent Person” as defined by OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P (Excavations). Participants will learn how to identify hazards, classify soils, select protective systems, and ensure safe excavation and trenching practices in utility construction environments.

The course emphasizes real-world applications specific to overhead and underground electrical line work, including pole setting, trenching for conduit, and excavation around energized utilities.

What do the OSHA Excavation standards cover, and how do they protect workers?

The standards apply to all open excavations made in the Earth’s surface, including trenches. Following the requirements of the standards will prevent or greatly reduce the risk of cave-ins and other excavation-related incidents.

There is a limit of 20 people per class, so sign up soon!

This is an ECLIPSE approved ELECTIVE course. Anyone can take this course and is not limited to ECLIPSE participants.
