    ​This course is designed to enable participants to identify the many hazards associated with excavations as required by 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P. Excavation work is among the most dangerous work out of all construction activities. Because of this, excavations and the surrounding areas must be inspected at the beginning of every shift by an Excavation Competent Person to ensure that the work area is safe. We go to great lengths to ensure that participants that take this class understand these hazards and their role in the safety of everyone working around these excavations.
