Online Trenching and Shoring Training & Certification for Construction

Trenching and Shoring Training for Construction General Hazard Awareness Program

A training module for preventing trenching and shoring training hazards. Working in an excavated trench is dangerous. The greatest risk comes from an unexpected cave-in and other hazards include falls, falling objects, lack of oxygen in a close space, breathing toxic fumes, flooding, contact with natural gas line and electrical cable (buried and overhead).

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) – Trenching and Shoring Training for Construction Online Program

Studies show that excavation work is one of the most hazardous types of work done in the construction industry. Injuries from excavation work tend to be of a very serious nature and often result in fatalities.

A significant number of deaths and injuries in sewer and water main work are directly related to trenching. Trenching facilities are mainly caused by cave-ins. Death occurs by suffocation or crushing when a worker is buried by falling soil.

Regardless of how unlikely an accident may occur, we must prepare and plan for emergencies as pre-planning of excavation operations can greatly reduce the risk of injuries and/or facilities on the worksite.

TRENCHING AND SHORING TRAINING FOR CONSTRUCTION ONLINE COURSE OUTLINE

The course covers the following topics:

WHAT YOU WILL GET

1. Questions to be answered prior to digging
One of the most important steps in avoiding cave-ins is the pre-planning of excavation operations. In the beginning of the module, a list of important questions are provided that must be answered prior to digging.
2. Legislation
This chapter provides a guideline to the supervisors and workers who do excavating and trenching must be familiar with Part III excavation section of the constructions Regulation 213/91.
3. Soil Types
In this chapter, you will learn that Soil is classified as type 1, 2, 3, 4 in accordance with the descriptions set out in O. Reg. 213/91, s.226. These soil types are also explained in this chapter.
4. Inspections
Know that inspections of excavations, adjacent areas, and protective systems must be made by a competent person.
5. Hazardous Atmospheres
In this chapter, you will learn about the instructions to be considered when testing for atmospheric contaminants.
6. Cave-in Causes
Learn about different factors that affect trench stability such as moisture, boiling, heaving, subsidence and bulging, tension cracks, sliding or sloughing, toppling, spoil pilings, vibration, surcharge, previous excavation, existing foundations, weather. These factors are explained in detail in the chapter.
7. Protection against cave-ins
Learn about the three basic methods of protecting workers against trench cave-ins such as sloping, trench boxes/shields and shoring.
8. Allowable Slopes
In this chapter, you will know about the allowable slope information is provided for different types of soils.
9. Sloping
In this chapter, you will understand that though sloping can reduce the risk of a cave-in, the angle must be sufficient to prevent spoil not only from sliding back but also from exerting too much pressure on the trench wall.
10. Shoring
This chapter explains about shoring. Shoring (or shielding) is used when the location or depth of the cut makes sloping back to the maximum allowable slope impractical.

Shoring systems consists of posts, wales, struts, and sheeting. These basic types of shoring are:
- Timber
- Hydraulic/Pneumatic
- Pre-fabricated – trench box
Timber shoring, hydraulic shoring, pneumatic shoring are explained in detail with the support of images.
11. Underpinning
Underpinning involves stabilizing adjacent structures, foundations and other intrusions that may have an impact on the excavation. It is a procedure in which the foundation is physically reinforced. In this chapter learn about underpinning.
12. Pre-fabricated/Trench Boxes (Engineered)
Trench boxes are different from shopping. They may also be used in combination with slopping and benching. Learn about Pre-fabricated/Trench Boxes in this chapter.
13. Benching
You will learn about the two basic types of benching – simple and multiple. The type of soil determines the horizontal to vertical ratio of the benched side. Learn in this chapter the benching dimensions.
14. Safe Access/Egress
Trenches must be provided with ladders so that workers can enter and exit safely whether protected by boxes, shoring or sloping. Learn in this chapter how ladders need to be placed safety.
15. Final Test
In the final test provided, questions are in the form of MCQs (Multiple choice questions). Learners have to pass the test successfully in three attempts.
