NRSWA Cat & Genny Course in Merton
The NRSWA CAT & Genny course in Merton provides operatives and supervisors with the knowledge and skills they need to conduct effective cable avoidance operations, to operate the latest iterations of the Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) and the Signal Generator (Genny) and to run their worksite in accordance with HSG 47 regulations. Street work brings with it the possibility of catastrophic encounters with essential underground services. These cables, pipes and other utilities cannot simply be moved to make way for streetworks. Instead, operatives and supervisors need to locate, identify and work around them. And that is where the NRSWA Cat & Genny course in Merton comes in.
