Five Years!

This month makes it five years since "Trench and Excavation Safety by the Book" was first printed. In our continuing effort to make this book accessible we have held the price to $39.00 to keep it affordable as a manual for the competent person student as well as a solid reference guide for the excavation safety instructor.

Trench and Excavation Safety by the Book is designed to be easy to read and understand, yet it covers the complex aspects of excavation safety as well as the basic concepts. It is thorough and it incorporates commentary from the federal register, making this the "go-to" reference guide for excavation safety.

Subjects such as soil classification and protective system options, which are often mis-understood and sometimes incorrectly taught, are clearly explained. The book contains the federal register for subpart P and many important letters of interpretation.

The book is available at www.trenchandexcavationsafety.com

Thank you!
