The LEARN Center - NYC DOB SST 1 Hour Excavations (Online)

1 Hour Online Trenching And Excavation Training Course

Why do you need excavations online course? Excavations are the process of moving earth or other materials using tools, equipment, or explosives. Excavation is used during construction in order to create building foundations and is an important part of the construction process. Online trenching and excavation training will help you to learn about the different techniques and terminology used in excavations such as trenching, wall shafts, and underpinning is knowledge that most construction workers and supervisors should pursue.

 

NYC DOB SST Requirement (Local law 196)

The 1 Hour Excavations class also known as trenching and excavation competent person training online falls under “Site Safety Training (SST) Specialized Electives” and will be accepted for use towards acquiring certain SST cards. This online class is in compliance with the New York City Department of Buildings regulations for proctored online training.
