MCAA’s Excavation Safety Training Video educates your workers about when it’s safe to work in an excavation, when to stay out, and when to get out.
It provides an overview of the hazards involved in working in these spaces and teaches workers to:
- Ensure there is a means of access and egress
- Know when to leave an excavation
- Identify and report surface encumbrances that could change conditions
- Identify and report missing guardrails on excavation walkways
- Identify and report missing fall protection barriers
- Be aware of other excavation hazards
- Refrain from digging until all utilities are marked
- Stop and report it if they uncover a utility
- Refrain from attempting an excavation cave-in rescue
