View this short video explaining the top five OSHA violations identified by our safety pros when they examine the means of egress in trench excavations during mock OSHA inspections. The primary focus is on use of portable ladders as the means of entering and exiting a trench. Then be sure to add your comments or questions below.
Good information was provided. Is there any training material that you can offered to train an employee to be a competent person to inspect ladders on the job site?
Thank you Oscar. We do have a ladder safety in construction DVD training package on our main website at https://oshatraining.theoshastore.com/ladder-safety-in-construction-environments.html . However, there is noting specifically designed for a competent person certification.
Very good information in a short period of time. Section dealing with proper set-up of ladders was done correctly using the working length not the vertical height.
Thank you George. Please help spread the word about this new resource!
Very good information and it was all given in what I felt was an appropriate amount of time. This would be a great resource to share with front line supervision. Thank you for creating this and for sharing!
Justin. I appreciate the feedback.
