HSG47 Training – Avoiding Dangers in High Voltage Underground Cable Locations (Swansea)

Safe Excavations & Utility Strike Avoidance in South Wales

Working in Swansea’s infrastructure requires the highest standards of safety compliance. Beneath the city’s streets lies a dense, complex network of high-voltage (HV) cables, fiber optics, gas pipes, and water mains. Striking any one of these can lead to catastrophic consequences from severe injury and multi-million pound delays to massive service disruption across South Wales.

Evolution Safety Solutions, a trusted UK training provider with a presence in London, offers critical, fully EUSR-accredited HSG47 training (Avoiding Danger from Underground Services) to ensure your personnel are competent, compliant, and equipped to operate safely in this high-risk environment.

Why EUSR HSG47 is Non-Negotiable in Swansea

The Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) HSG47 guidance is the industry benchmark for safe digging. In populated urban areas like Swansea, utility strikes are frequent and costly. This course is essential for meeting both HSE regulatory compliance and the strict requirements of major infrastructure and utility operators (such as National Grid and DNOs). Our EUSR accreditation guarantees the qualification is recognized and accepted across every UK construction and utility sector.

Who Needs This Training?

This certification is vital for any professional whose role involves ground disturbance in the London area. This includes:

  • – Groundworkers & Excavation Operatives: Those directly using hand tools or mechanical plant near existing services.
  • – Plant Operators: Ensuring machinery is positioned and used safely over or near buried assets.
  • – Site Managers & Supervisors: Responsible for planning, directing, and issuing permits to dig (PTW).
  • – Civil Engineers & Surveyors: Professionals involved in service location and interpreting complex utility maps.

What You Will Master: Safe Digging in 3 Stages

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) guidance, focusing on practical, hands-on application:

  1. ✅ Planning the Work:

  2. Learning to read and interpret complex utility drawings, line search documents, and service records. This stage emphasizes the crucial risk assessment process that must be completed before any tools touch the ground, helping teams understand exactly what lies beneath the excavation area.

  3. ✅ Locating & Identifying:

  4. Delegates receive extensive practical experience in the correct operation of Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT) and Signal Generators (Genny) in all active modes (Power, Radio, and Genny). We cover best practices aligned with HSG47 and the industry specification PAS 128, teaching operatives to accurately pinpoint and mark buried utilities.

  5. ✅ Safe Excavation Practices:

  6. This crucial stage covers the mandatory techniques for working near known services, including safe digging methods, understanding excavation hazards like soil collapse, and ensuring the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) is used. It also covers the essential knowledge needed to react correctly and safely in the event of a utility strike incident, minimizing risk and reporting accurately.

How Long Does the Course Last?

We offer bespoke, on-site training across the Swansea region, which often provides the most cost-effective option for group bookings.
