Excavation cave-ins happen so quickly there is literally no time to react. That’s why worker safety training on excavations is so important. When workers use the protective systems and safe work practices that are covered in MCAA’s new Excavation Safety for Mechanical Construction worker safety training video, their work in excavations will be as safe as any other part of your job.
Workers will learn:
- How soil types govern protective system safety requirements
- How weather conditions can change soil types
- When it’s safe to enter an excavation
- Why atmospheric monitoring is so important
- When protective systems are needed
- The importance of effective access and egress
- What to do if they see anything that could be hazardous
- What to do in case of an excavation cave-in
