Many workers have been killed or seriously injured working in and around excavations. OSHA now requires a “Competent Person” to directly oversee all excavation and trenching operations on job sites nationwide. The competent person must have specific training in and be knowledgeable about soil analysis, the use of a variety of protective system to prevent cave-ins and other requirements of OSHA Subpart P. • You will be introduced to practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and un-shored slopes and walls of excavation. • Understand the OSHA regulations and types of competency necessary for an employee to be designated by their employer as a “Competent Person” during excavation operations. • Demonstrate hands-on soil classification exercises where each student performs the visual and manual test required in the OSHA Subpart P Excavation Standard with a variety of soil samples that represent OSHA soil types A, B and C.
