After the course, individuals will learn to recognize and eliminate unsanitary or hazardous conditions in their work environments. 

Baystate Roads is offering the course five different dates and locations in January 2017.
 
Public Works professionals involved in trenching and excavation should attend.
 
The course fee is $75 for municipals and $150 for those in a private sector. This includes a light breakfast, lunch and all course materials.
