The Safe Control of Operations (SCO) scheme ensures that individuals working on the gas network are trained to do so safely by understanding gas network procedures and correct permitry.
All gas industry personnel involved in operational and/or minor works on the Gas Networks and certain types of Meter Installations including, but not strictly limited to those who are, or will become Named Competent Persons for either Permits to Work, Forms of Authority and, where appropriate, Routine Operations will benefit from this course.
Training is the same for both Authorising Engineers (AEs) and Competent Persons (CPs). However, Permit to Work is an exception where CPs and AEs have a slightly different assessment route which means that they have specifically identified registrations, e.g. Permit to Work (AE) and Permit to Work (CP). Trainers will ensure that individuals complete the assessment appropriate for their role.
SCO Assessments are multiple choice and structured so that there is an assessment per module. Individuals must successfully complete training and assessment for all 5 modules to pass the course.
The course content is detailed below and has been developed in consultation with the Gas Industry to provide a uniform approach to health, safety and environmental awareness training across the utilities sector, in line with Health and Safety Executive guidelines.
