Beyond the features and capabilities of cable avoidance technologies, the goal of this course is to teach attendees a better grasp of the fundamental components of a safe work environment and the most effective methods for locating hidden utilities. Our online cable avoidance training will assist you in safeguarding your employees and underground infrastructure.

To keep participants interested throughout the day and encourage candid conversations about best practices and methods to enhance current procedures to minimise utility damage and personal injury, the course seamlessly blends theoretical and practical information.

One of Sygma Solutions Ltd’s primary differentiators is our online cable avoidance training, which improves on-site safety procedures and complies with industry regulations. Our strategy for avoiding cables sets us apart in the following ways:

  • Stressing the Genny-First Method: In contrast to many traditional courses that begin with passive detection techniques, Sygma Solutions Ltd recommends using a signal generator (Genny) at the beginning of every survey. Compared to traditional passive procedures, this proactive strategy significantly reduces the chance of cable strikes by improving the detection accuracy of underground wires and utilities.
  • Level 2 Cable Avoidance Qualification: Sygma Solutions Ltd equips operatives with the knowledge and abilities needed to carry out secure, efficient site assessments through its Level 2 Cable Avoidance training. This nationally recognised certification guarantees that workers are qualified to prevent harming subterranean cables and utilities, which is essential for compliance with large-scale projects like HS2.
