"Competent Person" Training

OSHA requires that a "Competent Person" be on your construction or maintenance site whenever workers are exposed in an excavation.

Applied to trenching or excavation operations, the Competent Person (CP) must have specific training and be knowledgeable of the requirements of the standard, soils analysis, and use of protective systems. In addition, the CP must have authority to take immediate corrective measures to eliminate unsafe conditions. AGC's Competent Person Training Program is designed to help you meet OSHA's training requirements. Each student receives an instructional workbook (which serves as a valuable reference later) and a wallet card and certificate from NUCA indicating successful completion of the class. This class is instructed by David Dow with TrenchSafety & Supply.

"Confined Space Entry" Training

OSHA mandates that employers provide a safe workplace for their employees. Each year, thousands of workers who enter confined spaces – manholes, pipelines, sewers, utility vaults, etc. – face significant risk of injury or death because of limited openings, poor ventilation, or hazardous atmospheres.

Our "Confined Space Entry" training is designed to improve awareness of such hazards, and provide managers and confined-space entry supervisors with the basic information to establish a confined-space safety program. Also, a wide variety of information on protective devices is presented.

Each participant receives an instructional workbook, and a wallet card and certificate from NUCA signifying completion of the course. This class is instructed by David Dow with TrenchSafety & Supply.
