What is EUSR Cable Avoidance Training?

EUSR or the Energy and Utilities Skills Register is a recognised, independent body that needs surveyors to be training and experienced to the highest levels. A card, known as the EUSR card, is given to anyone who has completed the EUSR cable avoidance training. Only those who have this card is eligible to work on projects like, HS2.


There are several providers of CAT & Genny training in the UK, but the best ones are those whose training meets the lofty standards of EUSR HSG47. By undertaking a EUSR cable avoidance training programme, individuals will be taught the use of the cable avoidance equipment in their various modes. Also, individuals will be taught about the limitations of these tools. Knowing the limitations helps surveyors in staying safe as one might feel that there are no underground utilities in an area whilst in reality, there is.

As you must be aware, the UK suffers from over 60, 000 cable strikes in a year. Regardless of whether the damage has been caused to an electric cable or a sewer pipe, it is risky and can cause serious health hazards. These utility strikes can be completely prevented through training and knowing how to use cable avoidance tools to detect and find the location of the utility services so that they can be avoided.

So, find a professional training provider and gain the knowledge that you need to keep your excavation site free of risks of any kind of fatality.
