NRSWA Cat & Genny Course near Belper

It wasn't that long ago that the roadwork sites generated all kinds of accidents, utility disruptions and personal injuries. Those days effectively came to an end with the New Roads and Streetworks Act of 1991. The NRSWA mandated that anyone working on a road jobsite in the UK had to be properly trained and certified. That includes those who operate the CAT & Genny machines that detect and trace underground hazards. As a result, jobsites today are safer than ever. If you need to obtain CAT & Genny certification, the best way to do that is to sign up for our NRSWA CAT & Genny course in Belper.

"CAT" is short for cable avoidance tool and is designed to detect underground power lines, water mains, utility cables and other hazards so that those excavating above can avoid them. "Genny" is short for signal generator. Once the CAT machine detects an underground hazard, the Genny sends down a signal that traces the path and duration of the hazard and returns the info to the machine. Together, these tools ensure a safe and effective jobsite. 
 
Only those who are properly certified are allowed to operate the CAT & Genny machines these days. Fortunately, obtaining such certification is easier than ever. Simply sign up for the NRSWA CAT & Genny course in Belper, pass a short exam, and you are good to go. 
The CAT & Genny course is a 1-day course that encompasses morning and afternoon classes. During the morning session, participants go over the hows and whys of the machines, and during the afternoon session, they are given a chance to get real, hands-on experience with these tools on a mock jobsite. 
 
At the end of the afternoon session, there is a multiple-choice exam testing your retention of the information imparted. You must answer 80% of the questions correctly to obtain certification. That certification will be good for 5 years from the date of issue. 
 The 1-day NRSWA Unit LA Location and avoidance of underground apparatus course is for anyone who needs to safely locate and avoid underground apparatus during their work on the local authority roads and paths. Whether that be in order to dig up the road and lay new tarmac or to check fibre cables underground, as just 2 examples.

The underground apparatus will include electrical cables, gas pipes, water mains and fiber optics. 

Also known as the cat and genny course it is for both Streetworks operatives and supervisors.
