The SEA trenching and excavation training program for safety and the competent person ensures that your employees have the information that they need to work in dangerous construction areas. OSHA’s excavation definition refers to any human created cavity, channel or depression that requires workers to remove sections of the earth’s surface while the agency describes a trench as a narrow underground dig site. Under that definition, many OSHA guidelines must be followed, and without the proper training, violations can turn into costly penalties or employee injuries.
