On
March 16th, 2023 IAMU safety specialists Joedy Dennis and Don Heck, and
regional safety coordinator Edith Hodgell, hosted an interactive,
in-house Trenching & Shoring training opportunity. The workshop
hosted 54 attendees and covered the roles and responsibilities of the
competent person, while conducting trenching operations. Employee
safety, interacting with mobile and pedestrian traffic, establishing
safe work zones on roadways, soil Identification, and the proper methods
of trenching and shoring were all topics covered under the
responsibilities as the competent person.
The attendees were
provided the opportunity to network amongst each other, share personal
experiences, and assist in developing safe procedures for trenching and
shoring, through different virtual interactive examples.
After a
provided lunch break, the training resumed with a short presentation
from Contractor Solutions, followed by hands-on training in properly
assembling a shore box and utilizing hydraulic pressure systems.
Each
attendee was presented with a Certificate of Completion as well as 4
CEU’s for their participation. We thank all that attended for your
dedication to safety, your willingness to learn, and lastly, your
willingness to take on the responsibility as the “Competent Person”
overseeing your work sites, fellow employees' safety, as well as your
own.
