Upon completion of this certification, individuals will be better equipped to manage the potential hazards that come with working with underground services, leading to a safer workplace for themselves and their colleagues.
What is an EUSR card?
If your profession is related to water, power, or gas, it is possible that you will need to acquire an EUSR card. This card is exclusively for utility workers and is an alternative to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card. Although the EUSR card grants access to construction sites, it is restricted to utility workers. Therefore, only individuals with the necessary expertise and qualifications are eligible to perform their job duties on these sites. After fulfilling the requisite training and surpassing the mandatory criteria, participants will receive a valid EUSR card that expires after three years.
How long is an EUSR card valid for?
the EUSR card only allows you to carry out your role as a utility worker. Whereas, the CSCS card is for those who need to carry out their role as a construction worker. CSCS cards are valid for five years, whereas EUSR cards can be valid for three to five years depending on the courses you complete.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This course can be combined with Category 2 Implement Safe (Digging) Excavating Practices to make a 1 1/2-day course.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
Delegates must be able to read and understand English.
GRANTS:
For CITB registered companies, £140pp grant can be claimed back on successful completion of the course.
