CAT is short for "Cable Avoidance Tool". The CAT enables workers to locate and identify underground utilities such as the aforementioned pipes and cables. Genny, on the other hand, is short for "Signal Generator".

The CAT and Genny course provides both a theoretical background into these devices and hands-on experience using the devices on a mock jobsite.
