The training course HSG47 describes the possible risks associated with working close to subterranean utilities. Additionally, we provide guidance to employees on mitigating direct hazards to public health and safety as well as collateral risks resulting from disruptions to services.

The goal of Sygma Solutions’ Level 2 and Level 3 utility location and avoidance certifications is to guarantee that workers possess the skills needed to comply with HSG47. One of the main components of HSG47 is that our courses, especially the Genny-first approach, assist participants in comprehending the hazards associated with underground utilities and how to reduce them.

An extensive training program encompassing the elements of a safe work system for avoiding subsurface services is the HSG47 course.

With its interactive design, the course offers both theoretical and practical sessions that allow students to gain a complete grasp of HSG 47 and how to use cable avoidance techniques in a construction, utility, or substation setting.

HSG47 mandates the following:

  • Preventing harm to subterranean utilities.
  • Colour-coding method for underground services.
  • Identification of street furniture or sites.
  • The constraints of utility plans.
  • Cable avoidance tools for underground service detection.
  • Subterranean service detection with direct connection and the Genny mode with an induction clamp.
  • Appreciation for the technique of subterranean mapping.
  • Use caution when excavating.
  • Cat and Genny at the workplace.
  • Techniques for safe excavation, such as hydro excavation and air lance.

This HSG47 training is intended for everyone who needs to know about HSG47 to stay safe from subterranean services.

For anyone whose job involves using cable avoidance equipment safely and correctly, the CAT and Genny training course would be helpful. For instance, any employees or managers in charge of finding subsurface equipment in a structure or fixing UK highways and motorways.

What advantages come with certification?

The main benefit is that it will provide you the knowledge required to operate in a safer manner. To safeguard both yourself and your colleagues, you will acquire the ability to identify and avoid potential threats and risks. Additionally, employers may relax knowing that there will be very little chance of delays and the resulting financial losses.

Practical tests are used to evaluate the course both before and throughout it. Combined experience of more than a century in utility identification and cable locators. Experts in the field, Sygma Solutions Ltd. is committed to imparting our expertise and abilities to our delegates.
