Trenching and Excavation

Training The Next Generation Of Workers With VR
Virtual Reality Construction Training

Trenching and excavation work poses serious hazards to all workers. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car. An unprotected trench can be an early grave. Employers must ensure that workers enter trenches only after adequate protections are in place to address cave-in hazards. Other potential hazards associated with trenching work include falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and hazards from mobile equipment.
