Personnel operating in and around substations, where there is a high danger of utility strikes due to the dense concentration of vital subterranean services including gas lines, high-voltage cables and other utilities, are the target audience for our HSG47 course.

What Makes This Course Crucial for Substation Operations?

The intricate web of subterranean cables and services makes substations a special challenge. In addition to the serious safety concerns to employees and the general public, striking one of these can have serious repercussions, such as electrical explosions, service interruptions, and expensive repairs.

Our training is an essential course for all engineers and groundworkers working in this field since it adheres to the HSG47 guidelines, which focus on safe excavation and utility avoidance in substations.

Who Must Enrol in This Course?

This course is perfect for:

  • Electrical Engineers
  • Crews that maintain substations
  • Those who lay the foundation
  • Teams that install cables
  • Plant Operators
  • Site managers for substations
  • Anyone planning or carrying out excavation work inside the bounds of a substation
