- Shield guard rails and engineered solutions
- Other means and best practices for fall protection in excavation environments
This interactive discussion is designed for contractors, supervisors, safety professionals, and anyone responsible for protecting workers around trenches and excavations. Bring your questions and experiences as we share practical solutions and lessons learned.
