Do You Need EUSR HSG47?

The Energy and Utility Skills Register (EUSR) is an independent skills platform that provides standards that are recognised in the utility sector. Dealing with sector skills, this body handles everything from water, waste management, gas and electricity.

For operatives who are handling excavations and projects involving underground infrastructure, accreditation from EUSR HSG47 is one of the best ways to uphold the standards of the cable avoidance industry.

EUSR CAT And Genny Training From Sygma Solutions

The Energy & utility Skills Register (EUSR) issues cards to some operatives in affiliation with the CSCS. These cards display a photograph of the holder, their name, and unique EUSR number. The reverse side of the card displays their registrations and their expiry dates. Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) affiliated cards are issued to operatives who have passed a Utility SHEA scheme since 1 December 2008. These operatives will have passed the new affiliated randomised health & safety test. If an operative has not passed one of these tests, then the CSCS hologram will not appear on their card.

Cable Avoidance Training Is Critical For Contractors Undertaking Groundwork

Any contractor undertaking excavations of any description must be aware of the possibility, or indeed the likelihood, of underground cables and utilities that are at the precise point, or very close to, where the excavation has to take place.

Cable Avoidance Training From Sygma Solutions

Cable strikes are running at about an average of 60,000 every year in the UK as a result of contractors digging without knowledge of underground utilities. That is an average of 165 every single day of the year and, at best, results in a delay on the contract while the utility sends workers to resolve the problem. A cable strike can also result in minor injury, serious injury, and in a handful of cases, fatalities.
