The Routine Operations module, often referred to as SCO Module 4, forms part of the SCO training programme that sits within the wider SCO scheme. This programme ensures that gas industry personnel working on gas distribution networks can carry out operations safely and in line with industry-approved procedures.
The SCO RO module focuses specifically on routine operations RO – low-risk, repetitive works requiring structured permit systems and documented processes. Participants learn how to apply routine operation documentation, perform risk assessment identify protocols, and follow the relevant process when carrying out activities on the gas network.
Successful completion results in updated EUSR registration and confirms that you are competent to work under the SCO scheme across operational sites managed by gas distribution companies.
The course develops a working knowledge of understanding gas network procedures, showing how they fit into day-to-day responsibilities across the utilities sector. You will learn how to:
By the end of training, you will have the ability to state the relevant process, identify risks, and apply the correct permitry with confidence.
This course is designed for gas industry personnel involved in routine operations within the UK gas network. It is particularly suitable for:
Access is restricted to those who have completed SCO Core and Permit to Work modules, ensuring that all participants share a consistent baseline of knowledge.
Routine Operations forms a core part of the SCO scheme, designed to manage low-risk, repetitive gas works through a structured permit system and defined operational process. This training is crucial for ensuring that all routine tasks are carried out in accordance with safe control of operations standards. Access to this module is limited to those who have already completed the SCO Core and Permit to Work (PtW) modules, ensuring a consistent baseline of knowledge across all participants.
To successfully complete this SCO course module, you’ll need to demonstrate suitable reading and writing abilities, as the training includes reviewing formal documentation and completing multiple-choice assessments. The course also requires you to demonstrate appropriate skills during both written and practical tasks, confirming your ability to follow and apply safety-critical processes in real-world gas network scenarios.
You must be able to identify the correct permit type and state the relevant process clearly during the assessment. Candidates must also be registered on the SHEA Gas scheme, as this validates their EUSR eligibility and ensures alignment with current gas safety systems. This structured route supports high standards of safety, compliance, and operational consistency across routine operation documentation.
To enrol, candidates must show:
This ensures that learners possess the appropriate skills to benefit fully from the training and demonstrate competence under the SCO scheme.
The initial programme for the SCO RO module typically lasts half a day, including training, exercises, and assessment.
Assessments follow a slightly different assessment route depending on whether you are completing the initial training programme or renewal training. Both involve:
On successful completion, you will receive an updated EUSR registration, confirming your competence to operate under the routine operations SCO module.

Contact our team today to book your SCO RO module and ensure you remain compliant, competent, and confident in managing routine operations RO under the national Safe Control of Operations scheme.
This course is required for anyone in the gas industry performing tasks under routine operations SCO guidelines. It applies to gas distribution networks, utility contractors, and those with specifically identified registrations.
Assessment includes a written exam and a practical exercise based on routine operation documentation. You’ll need to SCO identify, apply your own gas safety procedures, and complete forms to demonstrate your understanding of the relevant process.
Routine Operations involve low-risk, repetitive tasks with a clear permit to work. Non routine operations require more extensive planning and often involve greater hazards. Our team can guide you through the correct modules based on your SCO scheme path.
