Course Description

TEEX OSHA Training Institute Education Center LogoThe Excavation, Trenching, and Soil Mechanics (OSHA #3015) course covers the OSHA Excavation Standard and safety and health aspects of excavation and trenching. Course topics include practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and unshored slopes and walls of excavations, introduction of various types of shoring (wood timbers and hydraulic), soil classification, and use of protective systems. Testing methods are demonstrated and students participate in workshops in the use of instruments such as penetrometers, torvane shears, and engineering rods. Upon course completion, students will 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.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this course.

Course Completion Requirements

Participant Must Provide

  • a photo identification on the first day of class. See the Participant Handbook for approved forms of identification and additional guidelines.

Attendance Requirements

TEEX and the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) have an attendance policy that requires participants to fully attend an enrolled class in its entirety (100% of the course). We realize that extenuating circumstances may arise that would take a participant out of class and have a policy to handle those situations. If a participant misses less than 20% of the class, he/she may be able to perform makeup work equivalent to the class time missed. If 20% or more of the class is missed, the participant may attend a makeup course upon approval by TEEX’s OTI Education Center Director.

Upon successful completion, you will be able to:

  • Explain the importance of the Excavation standard, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P.
  • Identify general excavation hazards.
  • Apply principles of soil mechanics regarding factors affecting soil stability.
  • Identify types of acceptable soil testing methods used to classify rock and soil deposits.
  • Apply methods of field testing that are used to analyze and classify soil.
  • Identify types of protective systems used at excavation sites as described in the standard, 29 CFR 1926.652.
  • Identify appropriate sloping system design requirements, support systems, and shield systems for excavation and trenching.
  • Assess compliance of trench protective systems.

Suggested Audience

This course is designed for construction industry personnel who are involved in excavations or trenches.
