Recognising Harzards in Deep Excavation

Temporary Retaining Structures for Supervisors

 

INTRODUCTION

 

One of the major causes for collapse of deep excavations is the failure of temporary works supporting the excavation. Such collapse of deep excavations had resulted in loss of lives and injuries to many workers. Excavation collapses could be prevented if the supervisors had been equipped with knowledge on the common types of temporary support system and safe work practices in deep excavation construction. This course is for supervisors to understand the types of temporary support system and supervision of safe work sequences in deep excavation construction.

 

This course is granted up to 90% SDF subsidy under SDF EasyNet Scheme.

This course aims to enable participants to recognise hazards in excavation work, before employee safety is threatened. At the end of the course, the participants would be familiar with the types of temporary support system, safe work practices, instrumentation, common causes of failures and safety management system in deep excavation construction.
