MODULE OUTCOMES: At the end of the module, students should be able to:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. avoid workplace hazards. maintain cleanliness of work area and equipment. follow basic security procedure. setting out and excavate trenches for shallow trench. provide pest control services. construct timbering and shoring. pour and screed lean concrete on the trenches bed. perform piling works. perform pile cap works.

MODULE DESCRIPTION This module is designed as an introduction to students about shallow trenches set up and excavation, pest control services, timbering and shoring construction, the pouring and screeding of lean concrete on trenches bed, piling work and pile cap work. Students will be exposed to the instructions and procedures of the work that suit the current industrial needs. They will learn how to use all the necessary plans, tools and equipment so that the work can be proceeded according to the work specifications. They will also be introduced to the roles of supervisory. Workplace safety guidance material is also included in this module that contributes to the state of knowledge about hazards and risks and the ways of removing or reducing the hazard and risk.
