Who is the CAT and Genny course for?

The CAT and Genny training courses would be useful for anyone whose job involves the safe and proper use of cable avoidance equipment. For example, any workers or supervisors in the UK who are responsible for identifying subterranean equipment in buildings or repairing roads and highways.

What Are The Benefits Of Certification?

The key advantage is that you will have the necessary information to work more securely. Employers may also be assured of reducing the danger of delays and financial losses. The training will also follow the HS&E guidelines and the HSG47 ‘Avoiding hazard from subsurface services’.

We are an organisation with extensive training delivery experience. As a result, our courses are led by experienced and knowledgeable professors. As a consequence, you can be certain of obtaining the greatest instruction available.

How long is the certification valid? The certification is valid for three years. After this period, you will have to retake the course.

What Does The Course Entail?

The lesson covers:

  • Identification of Underground Services.
  • Underground services pose a hazard.
  • Workplace safety protocols and permits.
  • Use utility plans.
  • Site observations.
  • Principles of Cable Avoidance Tools.
  • Operating modes of a CAT.
  • How to Use a CAT.
  • Use of a Signal Generator (Genny).

Employers must protect the safety of their employees. This includes thoroughly inspecting subterranean utilities with suitable equipment such as CAT and Genny. The key roles include:

  • Conducting risk assessments and adopting safety measures.
  • Providing proper training in CAT and Genny use.
  • Ensuring that CAT and Genny scans are performed before any excavation activity.
  • Regular maintenance and inspection of CAT and Genny equipment.

Our course by Sygma Solutions assists organisations in meeting these duties by giving thorough training to employees on how to use CAT and Genny effectively, hence promoting compliance with applicable regulations.

Location and Avoidance of Underground Services, often known as Cable Avoidance Training (CAT and Genny training), teaches you how to avoid underground cables and pipes while digging roads and pavements.

A large number of hands-on demonstrations and practical exercises are coupled by classroom-based instruction. A full training handout pack will be provided.

You and everyone else in your workplace deserves to be sure that they are safe while working. We have taught hundreds to increase statutory compliance. Let us help your organisation as well. Reach out to Sygma Solutions now.
