EUSR SHEA Water Training: Essential Safety for the Water Industry

The EUSR SHEA Water Training (Safety, Health, and Environmental Awareness) program is a mandatory one-day course designed for anyone requiring access to operational sites within the water industry. Developed by Energy & Utility Skills (EUSR) in collaboration with industry employers, this scheme provides a uniform approach to health, safety, and environmental awareness across the sector.

By participating in this intensive EUSR SHEA Water Training session, attendees gain the foundational knowledge necessary to work safely on both clean water treatment works and wastewater networks. This ensures not only legal compliance but also enhances an operative’s ability to identify and manage risks specific to water utilities.

Why Choose EUSR SHEA Water Training?

  • CSCS Partner Card Affiliation: Successful completion provides a pathway to the CSCS Partner Card. This allows utility workers to access construction sites for water-related tasks without the need for a separate CSCS card.

  • National Recognition: The program is recognized by all major UK water companies as the standard safety benchmark for site access.

  • Comprehensive Awareness: The course covers both core utility safety and sector-specific modules to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the working environment.
