- Excavation and trenching video developed in 2005 under an OSHA Harwood Grant. Part of a larger, navigable DVD with slide show and embedded video.
The DVD is now available here:

In response to receipt of DVD:
"I went through your training DVD with the quizzes and WOW, I am so impressed and can’t wait to show the training to our guys and girls!
This is so much more than I could have ever offered myself. There seems to be a lack of in-depth training into the dangers of working around excavations and trenches here in our area. I am just going to double check that all the depths mentioned are the same for us in Canada!
In parts of Canada workers are required to take Ground Disturbance 201, however it really only tells them the requirements, especially for potential contact with utilities - doesn’t truly explain/show how to achieve what they expect in terms of the entire excavation process, and the other hazards that go with it. Your DVD really bridges that gap between the legislated training and actually working with/in excavations and trenches."

As a Michigan OSHA Construction Senior Safety Officer, I arrived at an excavation site to investigate an injury accident. The excavation was 32' deep and 10' wide. When I looked at the excavation I noted there were shore boxes (each 10'L x 20'W) stacked being used. Due to the depth, there was an engineered shor8ng design for the site, which called for steel plates (road plates) to be used with the boxes, and to be installed to within 2' of the trench bottom.the upper portion (above the top edge of the shoring was to be cut back (2' below the top edge of the shoring.) With the company safety person and the site superintendent with me, I looked at the work being done and was stunned. The boxes were 8' above the bottom of the trench with three men working in the bottom. I asked the safety guy if I was actually seeing this. He replied that the shoring was 8' above the bottom, but that was per the design. I first asked the men to be brought out of the trench and pronounced the job "shut down." When I asked to see the design I was told it wasn't on site.
The next morning, job still shut down, I reviewed the design with the safety guy and quickly learned he didn't know how to read prints. Someone had convinced him that what they were doing was per the prints. I quickly educated him to the error of their ways. Their excuse was due to the fluidity of the black clay soil the excavator didn't have enough power to drive the shore plates to the proper depth.
As the company, supervisors, operators and top person had all previously been on sites I inspected and had issued violations (for unsafe excavations) , I issued Willful Violations.
Sad, but replicable, story. Thank you for taking action.
Bamm! Thank you! You saved many lives from the workers at the bottom.
THANKS A LOT MR. ADAM SANDLER
Lol I was thinking Ben Affleck
Lol 😂
I don't work in the construction industry, I just watch hours of work safety videos to relax my depression
I'll be happy if I've this mentality
This safety guy rules!
A sentence you don’t often hear on the job sites 😂. Seriously, thanks for this video, man. Super informative with no fluff 🤙
Marko came to my jobsite Today to get our Team Members' heads around the upcoming work we are about to do which involves trenching and excavating in a busy city roadway. We haven't been involved in this type of work in quite some time because we have been working on a rail system. Marko informed us of this video. In the many trainings I've had on trench and excavation safety over the years, this video was by far the best at explaining how to implement the OSHA standard in the field. I'm definitely showing this video to our Team Members. Thank you again Marko!
This is valuable open eyed information is for everyone who works in civil, building and construction.
This is education at its best and many people in these industries don't know or are not aware, even the CEO's, bosses and supervisors. They just send you to danger and hope that the workers will take care of themselves experienced or apprentices.
Thank you so much we have people who care about our health and safety.
Job amazingly done, congratulations on this video .
"Competent person" is probably the best job title I have ever heard
I am a General Superintendent from one of the Country's largest construction companies. Although we are steeped in safety and it's part of our every day job function this is is a great video which I will be showing to my Superintendents, PE's and PM's as part of a Tool Box Talk. Keep up the good work, be safe and thank you.
Thanks so much! Pass it on!
What I guys do? In u company Mr?
The guy who is hosting the video have a perfect character as Safety Engineer, the way he talk and discuss the safety issues are so professional, Thank you so much for this worth video
Thanks so much!
I like how this guy cares about everybody even his Co workers your a hero💯😌
Not a hero...just a guy who cares... a lot. Thank you so much!
this is an excellent video, I have used this in at least one of my 30 hr OSHA classes for the excavation and introducing confined spaces section, i also would love to see any powerpoints or other videos you have made. Thank you very much
AWESOME video, going for my 2a-1c tomorrow, and start a new construction job in MA and this video has went over a lot, thank you!
Very informative. Every construction worker should watch.
Add to your company safety program.
Thanks Joe! Pass it on!
Great video. All those safety measures and applications can save lives. Thank you for the information!
Great Video, i Use this as part of a Trench and Excavation safety refresher course for some of my employees.
Wow! Great presentation! Going to watch it again to help me pass a test. Thanks!!
Excellent video that covers all the bases.
Factual and educative presentation. It helps me learn to pay attention to minor details. I will use it to train and increase safety awareness to our construction workers. Thank you.
Excellent video! This is the most informative trenching and shoring video we have seen. We can't wait to share this information with our trainees.
Thank you Rusty! Let us know how it works out!
Excellent video wish i had this video to share with my co-workers MAHALO from MAUI HAWAII
Please do! Pass on the link to whomever you like!
I have no idea why I’m just watching a work safety video on this in my spare time lmao. I don’t even work in excavation
Thank you so much for all your extremely useful information Marc
This training is perfect and the presentation is educative and i learn great idea it .
Thanks. Excellent training. Grettings from Colombia.
Foreman or Superintendent: “How should we classify this soil?”
Competent/qualified individual: “it’s always class “C” man. Why did we waste 12 meetings, and 172 man hours? We are 2 weeks behind schedule, we could have finished the job last Tuesday if we assumed the soil was class “C” to begin with.”
Excellent training video. Thanks a lot.
Mark.....great video. Please let me know if you have any others. These are great tools.
Outstanding training video! Very informative. I would like to use this in my training.
Please do, and let us know if we can be of any assistance!
Excellent training and thanks so much for sharing. Incredibly well done.
Thank you Graham! Spread the word - because One is Too Many!
Thank you Marko. This is one training video we all should watch and remember why.
Definitely a very thorough refresher! Awesome job. Well made. I've passed this on to several of my colleagues.
Jay Anderson thanks so much for your kind words!
Great presentation. I am currently constructing in Kenya. It's scary how workers take their safety lightly....
Great video!
God bless you mark and yes crush syndrome can be followed by compartment syndrome
Waoo Marko job well done i will be gratefull to reseive the full documentation.prio to my job as a safety and firefighting prevention officer.
Thank you for the precious presentation
Thank you for your comment!
Thanks for the educational video.
Best training and a great information ❤❤
I learned soo much from your video, Thank you Sir.
rushan akmal thank you for the comment!
Marko, I am currently studying for my Certified Safety Director designation, and this is one of the most informative and well designed videos I have had the pleasure to watch. Trenching and Excavation is one of the topics for testing, and I definitely learned a thing or two from this
I would love to incorporate part of the video, or in it's entirety when discussing safety plans with our clients.
Thank you for your work.
I would also be appreciated if I could contact you regarding any other information (powerpoint presentations, videos, charts) for use in educating. Even one life saved, is worth a lifetime of learning.
Love this! "Even one life saved, is worth a lifetime of learning"
Yes, feel free to use, and to contact me if you need anything

For a great forklift training video, google Forklift and Klaus.
Best presentation!
Great educational video for CX
Really good video.
Thank you so much Sir!! !! it is so much informative
Thank you very much!
Very authentic
Very, informative and educational, tks
This is a good reference material for our Construction Safety Training here in the Philippines..The video can reinforce our power point presentations. Very informative. Keep up the good work and more power Sir Marko....
Mauricio jadulos, jr. Mauricio, reached out to me at mkaar9@gmail.com and I can provide you with the PowerPoint that backs this up...and the interactive DVD if you like. Email a physical address I can mail to... thanks for your comments!
Hi Sir Marko...Thank you so much.....I sent you an email the other day..Best regards
Hi Sir Marko...up to now I have not received the power point....thank you
Hi Sir Marko, I am now here in the Philippines since Dec. 2017. We have a scheduled Occupational Safety and health training this coming Feb 19-23, 2018 here in Bacolod City..Still hoping you can still furnish me the PP which I will share to our participants...
Thanks Sir Marko..just received the training materials...regards
I'm in my first year in the apprenticeship program of learning how to be a plumber. I've only dug trenches on working with water lines near the water meter. I haven't worked past 2 feet deep but it's still useful information in case I'm working on a sewer lines that's deeper.
Greatly appreciated
Great video
Thank you sir
Awsm vdo on excavation hazards n safety measure. Thanks a lot bro..
amazing video
great knowledgable video
Thank you Abrar!
Great video.
+carlos ojeda (DJ Russo77) Thank you!
Great video! I'd like to use this for training. i come from an island called Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands, a US Territory. We will be starting some excavation work and this video will be a perfect addition to the slide show I'll have. THANK YOU!!
You are welcome to use it, with my best wishes for success! Drop me a note at mkaar9@gmail.com with your mailing address and I will send you some www.stopthinkprevent.com stickers - would love to see them in use on the other side of the world!
Awesome! Will do! Thanks again so much!
thank you for the video. very informative
Thank you for your comments! Pass it on!
I don't even work in construction/excavation. Why am I watching this video?
It's really interesting and well conveyed though. And informative all the same. Good stuff!
This is probably one of the coolest comments I have heard - thank you! It's great to know that something like this can be engaging enough to create interest - especially on a subject that's so important... people die because of not implementing these rules.
You may not be in construction, but you probably have friends who are, and I know that you drive down the street and see it happening all the time - this is part of what we confront on a daily basis!
If you just pass on to one person, who know what will happen!
Thanks again.
Very informative kindly make more videos
How we doing it in Ireland is 1 foot down one foot away if it's 2 foot down it is 2 ft away for spoil piles
Great Job,
THANKS
Very fantastic video sir interested HSE officer
Thank you Amazing video
whose need monitor this situation, safety site supervisor or entry supervisor( including AGT) while trenching making ?
Thank you.
good job mate
Thank you so much. Use it in good health, and spread the word! Be safe - stopthinkprevent.com

Hello Marko:
I just want to share something that all Mature Americans should commit to
Whatever their lifestyle or job/career.
Each person after high school will reach Intellectual maturity only if they
Are mentored by older wiser adults
In all areas of life. When we learn
Something we should share it with others, or show them the danger ahead of time if they don’t do something a particular way.
So every employer and mature fellow workers should take it upon himself
To teach younger teens and adults
Why things have to be done a safe way.
Whether I was volunteering my work or being paid , after I had done a few things wrong in the workplace in the 80s , I became wiser the more skills i was trained on. Thus I was willing to share with younger folks what to avoid so as not to make the same mistakes I did, and to always do your best for your employer but not put yourself in danger.
I think OSHA is doing this.
Greetings bro. I graduated from Oshacademy with my 192 safety and health professional certs. and going for my Osha 510 next week in Baltimore Md. Thank you for this vid. Is there any vids you have on how to do a presentation on safety? Trying to work this power point out. Peace
I don't have a video, sorry...but reach out to me with questions at mkaar9@gmail.com and I'll see if I can help...I have built hundreds of powerpoints...
Doing my OSHA 500 this month and would love to see some of the presentations
Great video👍👍

The things I get to see as a flagger the workers have unity they're a team they work hard and have fun some of them dont mind telling the flaggers to ADVANCE
What would be the some of the common human factors in this type of work?
safety first safety must
The guy using the jack hammer at 4:42 could use respiratory protection from silicon dust generated from breaking up concrete.
I know I do when I'm using a JH.
What’s silicon?
Silica dust... I haven't watched the video, looking at all the noob comments 😆 but if he wasn't wearing a half mask, he should have been. But it's not silica you gotta worry about with the dust. The dust will build up and harden in your lungs after a long time with prolonged exposure needing to be scraped out of your lungs.
I've been breathing silica for 35+ years and I'm still alive
@@adamrodgers9175 No. Silica is the issue. It’s super small and very sharp and will scar the insides of your lungs that take the oxygen from the air. Over time, those scars add up and inhibit oxygen absorption. Nothing about what you said is true.
More emphasis needs to be directed to smaller contractors (non-union for the most part). Ask 95% of these small contractors what a competent person is, or how to determine soil classification and they look at you as if you've got 3 heads - they have no idea what you're tslking about. OSHA really needs to watch TH-cam/Instagram and start fining these so-called grading contractors for some outrageous (and fully documented) safety lapses. Vertical/near-vertical unsupported deep trenches are common. Spoils piles placed too close to excavations are very common. This video missed key excavation issues by saying spoils piles need to be farther than 2' away from the trench - yes, but that presumes the trenches are properly supported/excavated.
Has nothing to do with Union or not. Has everything to do with the company you work for and your super. Sounds like you pick some sketchy places to work.
Nice safe work better lessons to all
ਗੁੱਡ ਯੌਬ 👍
I need suggestion from u guys . I did mechanical engineering in 2019 batch . Can I write directly nebhosh exam without having any related experience in fire and safety? Answer me.
@Hari - Yes... U can write the exam. Since there aren't any requirements for experience in fire and safety - from examination point of view.
No job is so important, no service so critical...that you cannot take time to perform all work safely.
Awesome
I came for the comments from people who don't work in the field or are in a country where safety or even labour laws are almost non existing.
Available in
Spanish?
Sorry no
siraa babe
wonderful
Thank you!
Adam Sandler is that you
👍
Had a cave in at work that pinned two men against a trench box. Problem is, they were OUTSIDE of the trench box....
I hope they are okay...
@@MarkoKaar They were back to work the next day. Thanks.
@@WildlifeSeriaLKiller Never, never, never ever leave the trench box.
Great video and Marko knows his stuff, which is always a good thing. A few observations from me (not everything); home-made ladders - I never allow them on site, never mind let someone use them, Most of my work is in SE Asia and home-made ladder are a real problem. Also, so much lifting with the diggers' bucket - for me this is another serious problem and always have the hook removed when the vehicle is inspected for site use. 1, the hook is NEVER engineered, it is an add-on so the lifting capacity cannot be ascertained, and 2, a digger does not have a SWL so clearly cannot be used for lifting of any description. That said, I think its a good video and would use it as a training aid.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Many times the hook comes with the bucket, provided by the manufacturer. If all of the manufacturer's requirements are followed, including having the work done by a certified welder, the practice is acceptable even as an add-on.
Most excavators actually have capacity charts, based more on the capacity of the hydraulics than the potential for overturn. Example here: s7d2.scene7.com/is/content/Caterpillar/C10878753
ANSI does allow for job-built ladders, with many restrictions and quality requirements.
You have made many excellent points, thank you - I think the key thing to remember about this is that there are right and wrong ways for things to be done and qualified and unqualified employees for many tasks. Each of the items you identified is easy to do incorrectly, as you indicated. But with care, and by following proper guidance, it can be done safely...
As always, different jurisdictions and company requirements can always supersede...
Excellent
Gourav Patri thank you
Cross on the neck
Anyone else think this dude looks like Adam Sandler?
