The HSG47 Avoiding Danger from Subsurface Services course is a comprehensive training program that explains what a safe system of work for avoiding subsurface services should include.

The training is meant to be participatory, with theoretical and practical sessions that provide a complete knowledge/understanding of HS(G)47 and how cable avoidance technologies can be used in a construction, utility, or substation setting.

Locate Utility Services addresses the minimal training and assessment requirements for people working to safely detect utility services using recognised and authorised detection methods.

This training will help working professionals interpret utility drawings, identify different types of services, and locate subterranean utilities.

The HSG47 standards for avoiding danger from underground services include:

  • Preventing harm to subsurface services.
  • Underground service colour coding scheme.
  • Identifying street and site furnishings.
  • Utility Plans and their Limitations.
  • Detecting subterranean services with cable avoidance technologies.
  • Appreciation for subterranean mapping technology.
  • Use safe digging procedures.
  • Cat and Genny work together.

Underground services can be detected using Genny mode with an induction clamp and direct connection. Methods for safe digging include air lance and hydro excavation technology.

The HSG47 training is designed for everyone who needs to study and learn about HSG47 to prevent risk from subterranean services.

At Sygma Solutions, we offer high-quality training from qualified educators with years of real-world expertise in safety and grounding. Our training is EUSR-approved, and we ensure that participants learn the practical skills and theoretical understanding needed to safely detect, manage, and prevent underground utility dangers.
