Course Overview

Working in trenches is arguably one of the most dangerous tasks undertaken in the civil construction industry.

The primary function of any trench support method is to protect people from caving ground. The secondary function is to provide support to nearby structures and allow equipment access to the work.

You will learn about the effect of different soils and ground types, trenches, control of excavations (benching, battering, shoring) and safe removal of trench support.

On completion of the course you will be able to:

  • Plan and prepare for installing trench support
  • Install trench shoring
  • Remove trench shoring

Upon successful completion, you will receive a Statement of Attainment.

    Course Duration
