About this course
SHEA Water (Safety, Health and Environmental Awareness for the Water Industry) is the client-recognised safety passport for operatives working on water and wastewater sites. It combines the EUSR Core safety modules with water-sector specific content.
The course covers the hazards found on water company assets, the environmental sensitivities involved, and the safe systems of work, permits and behaviours expected of every operative on site.
It is delivered in person, in a classroom, and registered with EUSR on successful completion so your team can evidence compliance at site induction.
