“The trainer kept the course flowing and got everyone involved & kept it interesting.”
This 2-day EUSR accredited course equips delegates with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to safely install, inspect, and remove temporary shoring systems used in excavation works. It focuses on Category 3 (Timber Shoring), Category 4 (Steel Shoring) and Category 5 (Proprietary Shoring Systems) — ensuring competency when working in varied ground and operational conditions.
Training is delivered through a combination of classroom learning and live-dig practical assessments, applying a temporary works design to replicate real-world excavation constraints. The programme aligns with key industry guidance including HSG47, HSG150, BS 5975, and CIRIA R97, supporting compliance with legal and best-practice requirements on construction and utility sites.
This course is ideal for excavation operatives, groundworkers, supervisors, and utility personnel responsible for maintaining excavation safety and preventing ground collapse.
