NRSWA Unit O1 Signing, lighting and guarding 1 day course
The NRSWA Unit O1: Signing Lighting and Guarding Training Course in London is designed to provide participants with the practical, technical and regulatory knowledge they will need to sign, light and guard active construction sites in real world situations. The course is comprehensive in its breadth and is intended for anyone tasked with setting up the temporary signage, lights and guards required to safely and effectively redirect both vehicular and pedestrian traffic through and around active work sites in London.
