The goal of CAT and Genny training is to teach workers how to identify and steer clear of subterranean utilities, including but not limited to cables and pipes, when excavating roads or pavements.
CAT and Genny scan procedures, equipment usage, potential risks, and safe techniques for locating subterranean utilities are all covered in the course. The law mandates that the proper safeguards be taken with regard to the locating and marking of cables, and HSE rules state that a CAT and Genny scan must be completed before work starts. Your employees must obtain their CAT and Genny certificates if they are expected to perform excavation work.
A Genny is used in conjunction with a CAT (Cable Avoidance Tool), also referred to as a CAT detector. When the CAT is in the Generator mode, it collaborates with the Genny to trace signals.
To make sure delegates are competent with various functions and the correct use of equipment, cable avoidance training courses will include a practical session.
Anyone assigned to cable avoidance work or in charge of managing an excavation project should take our CAT and Genny training. This covers workers, engineers, supervisors, and site managers.
Any damage to underground wires has the potential to result in death or serious harm, as the HSE has pointed out. Employers are required by law to implement safety and life-saving measures.
The following actions must be taken to control risk:
Additionally, according to the HSE, CAT and Genny scan operators must have had extensive cable avoidance training.
The course will cover buried plans, electromagnetic theory, related risks and hazard avoidance, law and guidance (an introduction to HSG47 – Avoiding Dangers from Underground Services), and a thorough overview of equipment.
Along with other useful skills like underground service location and ground markings, course participants will also learn about the limits of Genny and CAT detectors.
Delegates will receive a certificate upon course completion that is good for three years. Rebooking a training session is essential for any workers or operators whose certification has expired.
Sygma Solutions Ltd can provide a training course that can be completed at our training facility. We offer certification that complies with all current HSE regulations.
