HSG47 is a key health and safety guide from the HSE, outlining safe digging methods when working near underground services. Our HSG47 substation training ensures operatives learn these guidelines, with a specific focus on HSG47 Substation use and effectively using CAT and Genny devices.
The HSG47 Substation course is a two-day, EUSR-accredited training programme designed for anyone working near or around high-voltage (HV) underground cables and substations. This HSG47 substation training course is the required training for those working in or near HV cable environments, as it replaces the previous substation course which is being phased out.
This HSG47 Substation training course is ideal for:
✅Utility and civil engineering workers involved in excavation or cable detection in substation environments.
✅Contractors accessing National Grid or DNO infrastructure.
✅Those who previously completed the HV Substations course.
✅Site supervisors, groundworkers, and cable engineers.
This HSG47 substation course teaches delegates the practical skills needed for HSG47 Substation use and safe working practices, including how to:
✅ Work safely where HV underground cables are present.
✅ Understand and apply HSG47 guidance and safety legislation.
✅ Use Cable Avoidance Tools (cat and genny substation) in all modes (Power, Radio, and Genny).
✅ Interpret utility service drawings and records.
✅ Plan safe systems of work, conduct risk assessments, and excavate safely.
✅ React to cable strikes and emergency scenarios.
