Each week, MCAA will highlight one or more of the educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership. This week, we focus on MCAA’s Excavation Safety Training Video, which teaches workers to use protective systems and safe work practices to ensure their work in excavations will be as safe as any other part of the 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
There’s More…
Excavation cave-ins happen so quickly there is literally no time to react, so MCAA offers accompanying materials to assist members in highlighting key training points, documenting worker training and confirming that workers understand the training concepts:
