The Northern California Trenching and Shoring course is designed to give supervisors, inspectors, site managers, and workers, the ability to identify existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings of an open trench. The student will learn of the working conditions that are hazardous and dangerous to those who enter open trenches.

In order to be a "Competent Person", one must have had specific training in, and be knowledgeable about; soils analysis, the use of protective systems, and the requirements of state and federal standards. Trench Safety will give this specific training. Students handouts will include our SafetyGENIâ„¢ manual and the Cal/OSHA Guide for the Construction Industry.
