What is LICQual Trenching and Excavation Specialist (TES) Course?
In this LICQual Trenching and Excavation Specialist (TES) Course, students will learn several safe work practices to minimize potential risks on the construction site. The course offers in-depth coverage of concepts ranging from soil mechanics and trench shields to the hazards of engulfment and cave-ins. Students will also learn relative regulatory requirements that will help them keep sites safe and compliant.
What is trenching & excavation?
Trenching is a construction method that involves digging a narrow trench in the ground for the installation, maintenance, or inspection of pipelines, conduits, or cables. Generally speaking, an excavation is a hole in the ground as the result of removing material. A trench is an excavation in which the depth exceeds (is bigger than) the width.Role & responsibility of trenching & excavation specialist:
Designing structural ramps. Inspecting protective systems. Monitoring water removal equipment. Conducting site inspectionsWhat is the difference between Trenching & Excavation?
Excavation is any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the Earth's surface formed by earth removal. A trench is defined as a narrow excavation (in relation to its length) made below the surface of the groundWhy this course?
Workers who perform construction operations like trenching, excavations and underground construction face several risks. These types of operations pose hazards ranging from falling loads to trench collapses and cave-ins. Any incident involving a trench, cavity, cut, depression or narrow excavation in the ground can easily lead to serious injury and worker fatality, so it's important to be aware of risks and how to minimize them
Who should attend this course?
This course is designed for general contractors, subcontractors, facility owners, and safety professionals who practice or supervise excavation, trenching, and soil mechanics.
Course content:
Introduction to Excavations
The definition of the terms excavation and trenching Responsibilities of a Competent Person including soil classification, designing structural ramps, inspecting protective systems, monitoring water removal equipment, conducting site inspections How to access and egress from trenches or excavated sites Types of site conditions to be examined before work begins such as overhead and underground utilities, emergency rescue equipment, stability of structures, and more The atmospheric testing procedures and ventilation required on a worksite.Soil Classification
The different types of soil (A, B, and C) Components of a visual test for soil classification Three types of manual testing that can be done for classifying soil An explanation of OSHA’s unconfined compressive strength measurement.Protective Systems
OSHA regulations concerning protective systems Discussion of the two general types of protective systems The distinction between sloping and benching systems The difference between shoring and shielding Options for shoring or shielding, including timber shoring, aluminium hydraulic shoring, trench boxes, or the use of a combination.Requirements for Protective Systems
Cave-ins, and how they typically occur Factors to consider when designing protective systems, including when to hire a Registered Professional Engineer OSHA requirements related to the installation and removal of protective systems Dewatering and water removal equipment. Safe Work Practices Hazards associated with excavations and trenching operations, such as exposure to a hazardous atmosphere, exposure to falling loads, oxygen deficiency, and others The importance of using proper protective systems and protective equipment on worksites Safe work practices associated with excavations and trenching operations; The conditions under which a Competent Person should inspect excavations and trenches.Learning outcomes:
Get it OSHA unearthing’s and trenching directions as characterized in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P and the secure work hones and strategies indicated by this standard Explain what a competent individual is dependable for in trenching and unearthing operations List location conditions that must be assessed some time recently exhuming operations begin Distinguish between sort A, B, and C soil; Explain what OSHA’s unconfined compressive quality estimation determines Differentiate between the two essential strategies utilized for soil classification (visual testing and manual testing) Understand the flow included in a cave-in Explain OSHA controls related to defensive frameworks in exhumed zones and the special cases to these directions.Benefits:
Review the compliance directive and letters of interpretation applicable to trenching and excavation Understand practical soil mechanics and how it applies to the stability of shored and unshored slopes and walls of excavations. Learn about different types of shoring, both hydraulic, and wood timbers. Practice using different testing methods.
