Course description
When carrying out any excavation work, it is essential for the health and safety of both your employees and the public that any underground services are effectively located and avoided. Our bespoke CAT 4 and GENNY 4 course provides operatives with the knowledge needed to operate a Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) and a Signal Generator (GENNY) safely and correctly. It also provides management and operatives with the essential training needed to install and lay cables in a safe and competent manner, meaning that serious incidents and injury will be prevented in the future.
The course fully covers the theory behind current legislation as well as best practice while using CAT and GENNYS. It also includes a practical element which gives delegates first-hand experience of using the actual locators to detect and trace the route of buried underground services.
Quinn’s Training Services have created a bespoke course which can be tailored to the needs and requirements of your company. It can be delivered as an in-house course or as an EUSR approved Endorsed Training Programme registered with EUSR and added to the candidate's EUSR Card.
We can also run this course as CAT 1 Locate Utility Services depending on your required specification.
