What is the NRSWA?
The NRSWA (New Roads and Street Works Act) Of 1991 is legislation that, among other things, established clear guidelines and procedures for the performance of excavation and reinstatement work on highways and footpaths. Every Operative working on roads in England must be well-versed in the guidelines established by the NRSWA.
Who is an NRSWA Operative?
An NRSWA Operative is any person employed for the purposes of conducting excavation or reinstatement work on highways and footpaths in England.
Why is NRSWA training necessary?
Streetworks must be conducted in a safe and effective manner in order to avoid causing harm to workers, pedestrians, passing motorists and members of the surrounding community. NRSWA training provides Operatives with the skill necessary to do just that.
