About This Course

The NPORS 180 Excavator (Face Shovel) Training course covers the operation of forward-facing excavators widely used in road construction, drainage installation, and utility trench work. Unlike the 360° excavator, the 180° machine cannot rotate fully — requiring specific skills for positioning and safe operation in confined workspaces.

Safe positioning and working arcs
Trenching and drainage excavation techniques
Working near underground services
Ground conditions and stability assessment
PUWER and LOLER compliance
