NRSWA Streetworks Training for Gas, Water & Electric Utilities
Today's high-tech utility networks are critical to everyday life. But working with them entails some significant risks due to the presence of live gas mains, water pipes and electrical cables. For this reason, strict regulations are in place governing such work, and anyone who performs such work must be properly trained and certified. The best way to obtain such certification is by taking and passing the NRSWA Streetworks Training for Gas, Water & Electric Utilities course.
The NRSWA Streetworks Training for Gas, Water & Electric Utilities course places a strong emphasis on hazard awareness and risk control. Participants learn how to identify underground services by way of the CAT & Genny machines and how to manage vehicular and pedestrian traffic through such worksites.
The typical streetworks training course for gas, water & electric utilities takes place over 1 or 5 days, depending on whether you are a supervisor. The course work combines classroom learning and practical hands-on exercises on mock jobsites. Core subjects covered include:
- Relevant health and safety legislation
- Signing, lighting, and guarding (SLG) of streetworks sites
- Safe excavation and backfilling techniques
- Locating underground gas, water, and electrical services using CAT & Genny
- Traffic management for minor roadworks
- Reinstatement of various types of paved surfaces
Special attention is paid to working near live utilities where even small mistakes may result in serious injury, service disruptions or financial penalties.
Should you successfully complete the course, certification will be provided by one of the following:
- Lantra
- City & Guilds
- The Certification and Assessment Board for the Water Industry (CABWI)
- The Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA)
Certification will be valid for 5 years from the date of issue, at which time it must be renewed.
If you fail the exam, you have the option of taking the entire course again (not just the exam). You will need to wait 48 hours after failing to re-register, and you must pay the full registration fee a second time.
