Enroll in Cable Avoidance Training to Prevent Utility Strikes

CAT and Genny Training: What Is It?

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.
