Even a “minor” utility strike can cause immense disruption and financial losses. The risks aren’t worth taking chances – proper training is an absolute must.
HSG47 is the Safety Executive’s guidance on safe digging practices to avoid underground services. It outlines the key principles, roles, responsibilities, and risk control measures for anyone undertaking excavation work. Complying with HSG47 Training is crucial for:
– Identifying and locating underground utilities
– Implementing safe digging practices and control measures
– Allocating responsibilities and duties for the project team
– Establishing emergency procedures in case of utility strikes
Proper training in following HSG47 requirements is a legal obligation for any company or worker involved in excavation activities where underground services may be present.
Through our Level 2 Cable Avoidance Courses, operatives gain vital skills and confidence to undertake exceptional site surveys from the very start. We offer two pathways:
1) Nationally Recognised Level 2 Qualification in Utility Location and Avoidance: This certified course meets the stringent HS2 requirements and prepares operatives for obtaining a CSCS Skilled Worker card.
2) In-House Certified Cat & Genny Training: For those who don’t require the formal Level 2 qualification, this intensive program covers cable avoidance essentials using signal generators and locators.
Whichever route is chosen, our training combines in-depth utility surveying knowledge with insights from working alongside the world’s leading cable locator manufacturers. This lethal combination has earned Sygma Solutions an outstanding reputation for reducing utility strikes.
Through detailed demonstrations and practical application exercises, operatives master the latest locating tools and techniques they’ve never seen before. From interpreting Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) readings to pinpointing cable paths using the signal generator, we ensure every operative emerges confident to tackle even the most complex utility mapping challenges.
What sets Sygma Solutions apart is our philosophy that every survey starts with the signal generator. We empower workers to leverage this powerful active locating method as the primary detection technique from the get-go, improving survey accuracy and slashing safety risks.
Safety is non-negotiable on any job site. Don’t compromise when it comes to protecting your workers, assets and reputation – invest in proper HSG47 training from proven industry leaders. Get in touch with Sygma Solutions today and let’s work together to promote a culture of safety through education.
