When you get a utility or contracting job that needs excavation, you must know the safety protocols associated with any underground facility. While doing underground jobs, you always risk striking something in a likely or unlikely space. Therefore, you must include a safe work system when digging. It begins with making a thorough plan, locating and identifying any underground services, and, lastly, incorporating safe digging practices. Therefore, operatives need to undertake a CAT Course along with EUSR HSG47.
It is a training program that covers all the requirements mentioned in HSG47 for safe working practices and is recognised by the EUSR. It prepares the attendees to undertake any underground job and equips them with adequate knowledge. They can also plan the work minutely and avoid operational bottlenecks.
The 47th Health and Safety Guide is concerned with the protection and safety of workers handling various utilities. It outlines the potential dangers of working near underground services and guides on ways to reduce any immediate risks to workers and the community’s health and safety, as well as the indirect risks arising through damaging the services.
EUSR, or Energy and Utility Skills Register, is an independent skills platform that provides utility sector standards. It is operated by the governing body for the gas, power and waste management industries. Although similar organisations exist, EUSR and its professional qualifications are widely recognised in the UK. The EUSR Cat and Genny course by Sygma Solutions is an effective way for operatives to prove their skills, knowledge, and expertise to operate safely and effectively.
As an operative in the utility sector, you must have a EUSR card. Details of the card holders are stored at the Energy & Utility Skills Register. Present and future employers can easily retrieve employees’ information and check their qualifications. Therefore, organisations can identify the correct candidate for each job, especially for skilled services involving excavation.
Wondering where you can get your CAT Course certification? Look no further because Sygma Solutions is a EUSR-approved training provider and a CITB-approved centre. We have created a comprehensive and unique EUSR HSG47 course that will give you an added edge. You can also add it to your EUSR Card.
