EUSR Category 5 – Install, Inspect & Remove Proprietary Support Systems

Overview

The standard when working with excavation support systems

This EUSR Category 4 – Install, Inspect & Remove Steel Support Systems course covers the minimum training and assessment required for those working to install, inspect and remove Steel excavation support systems. The standard has been derived from National Occupational Standards and incorporates the relevant requirements of HSE HSG150, HSE HSG47 guidance, R97 CIRIA Trenching Practice and City & Guilds Level 2 Awards in Excavation Support Systems (6146-21). Each category is mapped against National occupational standards. All our EUSR courses are delivered by tutors who have credible years of experience and knowledge working within the Construction, Utility and Civil Engineering Sectors.

As well as theoretical knowledge, this course also includes practical training and installation of ground support systems undertaken in a realistic training environment.

Categories 3,4 and 5 refresher is a condensed version of each category, and covers industry updates, amended guidance notes, amongst other relevant topics. This refresher includes a classroom and a live dig excavation session. This practical session includes the installation of timber, steel and/or proprietary systems (aluminum walers with steel/timber sheets/single and double acting frames/trench/manhole boxes), followed by the safe extraction and reinstatement of the excavations. All these are done to a specific temporary works design.
