Lunch & Learn: Workforce Safety – The Dangers Of Trenching and Excavation
Tuesday, March 26, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the NKY Chamber, 300 Buttermilk Pike Suite 330, Ft. Mitchell, KY 41017
Excavation and trenching are among the most hazardous construction operations.
OSHA defines an excavation as any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the earth’s surface formed by earth removal.
Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are much more likely than other excavation related accidents to result in worker fatalities. Other potential hazards include falls, falling loads, hazardous atmospheres, and incidents involving mobile equipment. Trench collapses cause dozens of fatalities and hundreds of injuries each year.
Presentation by Stephen Jones, from Kentucky Labor Cabinet will include:
•Overview of trenching/excavation standard
•Why is it so hazardous?
•Overview of soil analysis
•Three main preventions methods
•Competent person requirements
•Q&A

NorthernKentucky Chamber of Commerce
Great, the “Chamber of non-profits, virtue signaling, and womens only club” can spew more nonsense on how everyone is racist sexist and bigots and every other ‘ic and ‘ism’ in the book.
Get to work and help improve the bottom line for small and medium private business, not give non-profits back rubs all day for being champions against whatever discrimination/victimization is chosen for that month.
Private business hates OSHA and fights their policies publicly and lobby against OSHA… why the heck are you embarrassing their rules? wow, the reputation continues…
