Things to know

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.

Will I get a CSCS Card?
No, completing a Safety, Health and Environmental Awareness (SHEA) course gives you an EUSR registration and an EUSR SHEA card, but it no longer automatically includes a CSCS Green Labourer card. If your site or role requires a CSCS card (such as an EUSR CSCS Utilities Labourer card or a Skilled Worker card), it must be applied for separately.
