Hands On Training

​

The Oklahoma Excavation Safety Expo offers different opportunities to work hands on with various equipment and simulators.

​

Through our various breakout sessions, exhibitors and training classes, attendees have the opportunity to test new equipment, understand best practices and exercise safety techniques.

 

 

Mock Line Strike

​

One of the newer attractions to the Oklahoma Excavation Safety Expo is the mock line strike. This scenario utilizes live equipment, a simulated high-pressure gas line and trained personnel.  

​

Line-locators will come out to the site and demonstrate the best practices for marking a proposed digging location. Then, excavators will simulate striking a high-pressure and what steps to take to ensure a secured scene. Finally, professional first-responders will arrive on the location to walk through several emergency scenarios.

​

The simulation runs approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
