Trenching and excavation written program

Trenching and excavation program

The trenching and shoring program is designed to provide our employees with appropriate protection from injury due to the risk associated with hazards that may be found in or around excavations or trenches.

The type and level of safety procedure will be dependent on the specific hazards to be controlled at each job site. Once defined and unless otherwise specifically instructed otherwise, all company employees will follow proper trenching and shoring procedures in accordance with their training and instruction.  Failure to properly adhere to these procedures is grounds for disciplinary actions up to and including termination.
