EUSR Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness (SHEA) Water

SHEA Water is a one day Health, Safety and Environmental Awareness scheme for those working on water operational sites. It is developed in collaboration with employers and key stakeholders from across the industries in our sector, so the content is relevant – all helping to improve the safety of the workforce and reduce costs associated with injury, illness or accidents.

Description

This course is designed for people who may be water company employees. However, if you are working on a ‘Restricted Operation’ on behalf of a water company subcontractor or other organisation, such as Self-Lay Organisation (SLOs) – then you also need a National Water Hygiene EUSR registration.

The course lasts a day and takes place in the classroom  

 

The SHEA Water programme consists of the following 8 modules:

 

  • Module 1: Understanding our workplace responsibilities
  • Module 2: Understanding the effects of our work on the environment

Assessment

 Each Module is assessed through a multiple choice assessment, set by EUSR.
