The EUSR SHEA Water (Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness) course is designed for individuals working on operational sites within the water industry, including both permanent and temporary sites. It is suitable for operatives, supervisors and managers who need to demonstrate an appropriate level of health, safety and environmental knowledge and awareness.
Developed in collaboration with employers and key industry stakeholders, the scheme aims to improve workforce safety, promote responsible environmental practices and reduce the risks and costs associated with workplace injuries, illnesses and accidents.The course provides delegates with an understanding of their workplace responsibilities, common hazards, risk control measures and the importance of protecting themselves, others and the environment. It also covers hazards specific to the water industry, including clean and wastewater operations, highway working and excavations.
The SHEA Water programme consists of the following eight modules:
We deliver this one-day training course at our centre in Wincanton, Somerset. We can also deliver the course at your site, provided you are able to meet the off-site training requirements.
Please note that SHEA Water registration is not the same as EUSR National Water Hygiene registration. Individuals entering clean water sites or working on the clean water network in restricted operations must also hold the appropriate National Water Hygiene registration where required.
A valid SHEA registration is also a requirement for individuals applying for the relevant EUSR CSCS card for utilities-related work on construction sites. The type of card required depends on the individual’s job role and level of competence. This must be applied for separately.
