The Category 1 & HSG47 Course (Cat & Genny) provides essential, practical training for safely locating underground utilities.

Description

 Delivered in line with HSG47: Avoiding Danger from Underground Services, this course helps operatives, supervisors, and anyone involved in excavation or groundworks to reduce the risk of utility strikes and work confidently as part of a safe dig process.

Through a combination of theory, hands-on demonstrations, and practical assessments, delegates gain the skills to interpret utility drawings, recognise different types of buried services, and use approved detection methods effectively. This accredited EUSR programme supports both individual competence and organisational compliance as part of a wider safe excavation strategy.

Ideal as standalone CAT & Genny training or combined with additional safe dig modules, this course ensures participants understand how to plan, detect, and work around underground utilities safely and responsibly.
