This class is based on the requirements of Subpart P of the Federal OSHA CFR 1926 construction standards for excavations. However, we also address any nuances that may appear in state OSHA regulations, where applicable.
The OSHA Construction Standard defines a competent person as someone who is: capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings, or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
