HSG47 is a Health and Safety Guidance document from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) that provides guidance on avoiding danger from underground services. It’s important because it outlines safe working practices to prevent accidents and damage when working near buried utilities.
Our CAT & Genny courses cover the theory and practical application of cable avoidance tools (CATs) and signal generators (Gennys) for locating underground services. This includes understanding HSG47 guidance, interpreting utility plans, and using the equipment effectively.
Anyone involved in excavation work, construction, groundworks, or any activity that may disturb underground utilities should take this course. This includes site managers, supervisors, and operatives.
