Lunch is included in this session!

Excavation and trenching are among the most hazardous construction operations. OSHA defines an excavation as any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the earth’s surface formed by earth removal. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are much more likely than other excavation related accidents to result in worker fatalities. Other potential hazards include falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and incidents involving mobile equipment. Trench collapses cause dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries each year. Presented by Stephen Jones, from Kentucky Labor Cabinet this presentation will include:

Overview of trenching/excavation standard
Why is it so hazardous?
Overview of soil analysis
Three main preventions methods
