Expired Trenching & Excavation Training

UTCA has scheduled a Tuesday morning Webinar for February 23, 2021 for your field personnel regarding OSHA’s Subpart “P” Trenching Regulations.

This session will educate your workers concerning the requirements of a “competent person”, soils classifications and trench safety requirements as noted in OSHA’s Subpart “P” Trenching Regulations. It is important to note that New Jersey contains several different soil classifications throughout the state. Our topography ranges from “Type A”, solid rock in northern New Jersey, to “Type C”, sand, loamy sand and submerged soils found all around the state.

These different conditions require levels of shoring protection. This seminar will clarify all regulations as well as explain how to safely work around trenches.

OSHA has been strictly enforcing these trench safety requirements and noncompliance can result in large financial penalties for employers who do not properly implement these regulations. The registration fee for the seminar is $50.00 per person. Those who complete the seminar will receive a wallet size certificate of attendance for their use. For those who may have completed this seminar, it is recommended that the training be repeated every three to four years.

You will be emailed a Zoom link for the seminar.
