Overview

Because excavation and trenching can be technically challenging and carries unique hazards, safe work requires a competent person trained to identify and mitigate these hazards. After completing this course, learners should be able to recognize how to preplan for an excavation. This micro-learning course represents part of a broader topic. (3 min.)
