Our Trenching and Excavation Safety Workshop is one of our newest courses, and it’s already proven to be extremely popular. Later this year, we will be offering it in Burnaby (twice), Prince George, Terrace, Kamloops and Victoria.
Safety should always be a top priority on the job site. This workshop walks participants through a comprehensive program that includes what the WorkSafeBC Regulations & Guidelines state, safe work procedures and what to do if something goes wrong.
