Trench cave-in safety training helps workers feel more secure
On the corner of Wallace Street and 17th Avenue, workers from multiple organizations participated in the safety training drill, including Regina Fire and Protection Services and the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association (SCSA).
After Hexham had positioned himself in the trench, workers jumped in to action as if the trench had really just collapsed. One worker called 9-1-1, another stayed at the top of the trench and talked to Hexham to keep him in the loop, others worked to brace the walls of the trench to prevent further cave-ins.
Once the firefighters arrived, they took over the operation, extending the firetruck’s crane over the trench to lower down a spine board and then haul Hexham out. From start to finish, the exercise took 33 minutes.
“When it’s on paper, everything looks good, but until you actually test the system, you’re not going to know how your system’s going to operate in real time,” said James Scott, owner of Emeritus Energy.
