Trenching/Excavation Competent Person - 3/20/20 CANCELLED
TOPIC: OSHA continues its emphasis on excavation & trenching enforcement. Ohio’s Bureau of Workers Compensation and statewide construction associations are conducting Trench Safety Days to reinforce the importance of trenching safety. Also, local authorities are now more likely to step in and charge company owners and/or managers with criminal violations when an employee is injured or killed due to unsafe trenching operations. Yet, we continue to see trenching deaths in Ohio! A contractor’s highest priority must be employee safety! No employee enters a trench without a Competent Person on site and in charge to ensure that trench is safe! OCA has developed an excellent training course for trenching and excavation safety. This full-day session is in-depth and intense. Students must pass a course exam. The course includes student reference manual, testing, certification card, refreshments and lunch. Get your employees trained!!!
