About Category 5 - Install, Inspect and Remove Proprietary Shoring Systems

This safety course introduces the learner to the theoretical and practical dangers of excavation work. 

Examples of the areas covered are, but not limited to, the HSE's HSG150 and HSG 47 guidance documents, as well as the Construction Industry Research and Information Associations report. 

Learners will become familiarised with the necessity for identifying various ground conditions, and will come to understand a variety of methods for utilising the appropriate ground retention system(s). This course includes practical training and assessments whilst installing ground support systems in a live dig environment with specific timber temporary work designs. 

The two day course can accommodate up to 8 delegates per day.
