The Safety Health and Environment Awareness portfolio of schemes have been developed in conjunction 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 telecommunications scheme is designed for all individuals involved in the operational activities of the telecommunications industry who require access to sites, both permanent and temporary, including all levels of operatives, supervisors and management. A SHEA Telecommunications card lasts for three years from the date of training.
SHEA Telecommunications comprises of seven modules. The six core modules are common to all utility industries and form the basis of health, safety and environmental law and practices. A further one module providing the telecommunications industry specific content, all individuals will need to complete all seven modules to receive the SHEA Telecommunications registration. It is designed to provide evidence that an individual has demonstrated an appropriate level of knowledge and awareness. It is a passport scheme and does not indicate any level of technical competence or skilled expertise.
This is a mandatory legal requirement for personnel employed by companies operating vehicles, plant and machinery on the Highways. This course also includes Street Works Qualification Register (SWQR).
This is a mandatory legal requirement for supervisors employed by most telecoms companies. This course also includes Street Works Qualification Register (SWQR).
