It forms the foundation for sector-specific SHEA schemes and is part of the EUSR registration programme managed by Energy & Utility Skills.
This course supports a consistent, industry-standard approach to health and safety behaviours, environmental law compliance, and workplace risk control. It is led by our expert trainers and is ideal for anyone who needs to access temporary utilities operational sites or work within environments covered by the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS).

It’s also suitable if you’re building a career in the safety profession, support workplace practice in operational roles, or need to prove technical competence for CSCS access.
This course introduces six core modules that ensure a solid understanding of the legal, practical, and behavioural aspects of safe utility work. Topics include:
responsibilities
This section explains the legal frameworks that govern workplace safety and environmental compliance. You’ll understand your responsibilities under health, safety, and environmental law, ensuring consistent standards across operational sites.

You’ll be trained to identify common hazards, carry out basic risk assessments, and apply mitigation strategies. The focus is on proactive health and safety practices that support safe working across the utilities sector.
pollution control
Understand the core principles of environmental law and how your actions impact sustainability. This includes pollution control measures, waste reduction, and other key environmental considerations on temporary and permanent operational sites.
clearly
This module covers occupational health hazards and how to minimise them. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how physical risks develop and how to apply safety behaviours that reduce long-term health issues at work.
