Trenching and Excavation Competent Person Training in Colorado

Trenching and excavation work can change quickly as soil, weather, equipment and jobsite conditions shift. A competent person must be able to identify hazards and take prompt corrective action within the authority provided by the employer.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Cave-ins are not the only concern. Crews may also face hazardous atmospheres, water accumulation, falling materials, mobile equipment and unsafe access or egress.

WHAT TO KNOW

Competent-person training commonly addresses soil classification, protective systems, inspections, spoil placement, access, utilities, atmospheric hazards and changing conditions. Training supports knowledge, but the employer must also designate someone who has the experience and authority required for the role.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This course is designed for supervisors, foremen and experienced employees responsible for inspecting trenching or excavation work and correcting hazards.
