Cities and towns are growing at a rapid pace, relying on complex and intricate utility networks to keep our vital services running smoothly. However, some areas will find it harder than others to accommodate new infrastructure beneath the ground.
If you know anything about the utility industry, you’ll know that undertaking any excavation will inevitably bring site workers into close proximity to underground utilities, including electricity, gas, water and telecommunication works.
The Energy and Utility Skills Register (EUSR) is an independent skills platform that provides standards that are recognised in the utility sector. Dealing with sector skills, this body handles everything from water, waste management, gas and electricity.
For operatives who are handling excavations and projects involving underground infrastructure, accreditation from EUSR HSG47 is one of the best ways to uphold the standards of the cable avoidance industry.
The accidental striking of underground assets and services, such as cables and pipelines, can cause major injuries to construction workers, as well as fatalities, in the worst situations.
With the sheer scale of excavations happening across the nation for utilities companies or other underground infrastructure projects, it’s important that operatives have the right level of training to keep themselves safe.
As part of a proficient cable avoidance strategy, whether you’re operating as part of a firm handling utilities contracts, or within the utilities sector itself, you’ll know that finding the right tools is crucial.
You’ll probably have come across a range of companies offering a wide range of cable avoidance tools, as well as many merchants that offer reconditioned CAT and Genny cable avoidance tools.
