The Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) HSG47 guidance is the industry benchmark for safe digging across the UK. In busy commercial hubs like Preston, utility strikes are frequent and costly. This training is essential for meeting HSE regulatory compliance and the strict requirements of major infrastructure and utility operators (such as United Utilities and DNOs) operating in the North West. Our EUSR accreditation guarantees the qualification is recognized and accepted across every UK construction and utility sector.
This training is mandatory for utility compliance and is essential for individuals involved in planning, managing, or conducting groundworks where buried services may be present in the North West:
Our course delivers competence across the three crucial stages of utility avoidance outlined by the Health and Safety Executive, enabling practical, hands on application on site:
Delegates learn how to meticulously read and interpret utility drawings, site plans, and line search documents to identify potential services before breaking ground.
Trainees gain extensive practical experience operating Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT) and Signal Generators (Genny) in all modes, following the essential guidelines set by HSG47 and PAS 128.
