Certified Safety Professional (CSP) Patrick J. Walsh, and third-party safety consultant for BCS, recently delivered Excavation; Means and Methods training. Topics included practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and unshored slopes and walls of excavations, introduction of various types of shoring, soil classification, and use of protective systems. Testing methods are demonstrated, and students participate in workshops in the use of instruments such as penetrometers.
Upon training completion students have the ability to assess their employer’s compliance with the OSHA Excavation Standard, utilize soil testing methods to classify soil types, determine protective systems for excavation operations, and training requirements.
