What Our Clients Say:
Wendell Wood has been an effective instructor for Aqua America for several years. We have used other very fine instructors but have discovered that his awareness and knowledge of how the standard came to be, thorough knowledge of equipment and application in actual field practice has been helpful. A number of issues have been clarified over the years and our people have confidence in his depth of experience. The presentations are anything but dull.

About Us - Cost Effective On-Site OSHA Trench & Excavation Safety Training Classes

Trench Safety Training is owned and operated by Wendell Wood.

Mr. Wood, at one time or another, represented NUCA’s utility contractors and shoring and shielding manufacturers as the first president of TSSA.

He also provided official comment before congress, and chaired working committees of labor and union representatives, utility contractors and shoring manufacturers.

Additionally, he solicited comments from utility contractors nationwide, and with this information met with OSHA leaders to provide contractor comments regarding drafts of the anticipated standard.

Subsequently to the issuance of OSHA Subpart P, he served with Dr. Jack Mickle, Chairman of the ANSI 10.12 subcommittee on Excavation Safety. This ANSI standard was subsequently published as a joint project by ANSI and the National Safety Council.

Trench Safety Training is a continuation of the work done since that time under the names of MMJ Services and MMJ Consulting, as a vehicle for training and providing other services related to excavation safety.

Besides training programs, Trench Safety Training offers other services including Engineering Support and Referrals, Equipment Recommendations and Sources, Training Instructor Referrals, Safety Audits, Safety Manual Reviews and Updates, Simulated OSHA Safety Inspections, and Expert Witness Testimony. His travels throughout the US and Europe have allowed him to development a broad network of industry leaders, manufacturers, engineers, trainers, and distribution channels.
