EUSR Deep Excavation (Category 5: Install, Inspect & Remove Proprietary Shoring Systems)

Overview

Glanville Training offers the EUSR Deep Excavation safety course designed to equip learners with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to mitigate the risks associated with deep excavation work. This course is tailored for a diverse audience, including managers, supervisors, safety professionals, and operatives responsible for overseeing or performing tasks within excavation sites. If you are involved in the installation, inspection, or removal of shoring systems without prior formal training, this course is indispensable to enhance safety and minimise risks for yourself and your colleagues.

Course Highlights:

  1. Comprehensive Coverage: Our course delves into various aspects of deep excavation safety, drawing upon industry best practices and regulations, including references to HSE’s HSG150 and HSG 47 guidance documents, as well as insights from the Construction Industry Research and Information Association’s report.
  2. Ground Condition Awareness: Learners will gain a deep understanding of the critical importance of identifying and assessing different ground conditions. This knowledge empowers individuals to select and implement the most suitable ground retention systems for specific excavation scenarios.
  3. Practical Training: The course goes beyond theory by incorporating hands-on training and assessments. Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting, installing ground support systems within a live excavation environment. This includes working with specific timber temporary work designs, ensuring a well-rounded skill set.

By the end of Glanville Training’s EUSR Deep Excavation Safety Course, participants will emerge not only well-versed in the theoretical principles but also equipped with practical expertise to safely navigate the challenges of deep excavation work.
