Course Description
The Utility Safety Health and Environmental Awareness (SHEA) portfolio of schemes has been developed in collaboration with industry to provide a uniform approach to health, safety, and environmental awareness training across the utilities sector, in line with Health and Safety Executive guidelines.
The Utility SHEA (Water) scheme is affiliated with the CSCS to allow Water industry workers access to construction sites for purposes of utilities work. Those wishing to apply for their CSCS cards can let us know when booking the course which card you require, and we can do this for you.
