CABWI Operator 2 day refresher course

Under the New Roads and Street Works Act (1991) (NRSWA), the installation, renewal, maintenance and inspection of underground apparatus in any street or road must be undertaken by competent people. The Street Works scheme provides the mechanism for recognising competence in excavation and reinstatement in the highway.

THE STREET WORKS QUALIFICATIONS REGISTER

Anyone wishing to be a current recognised operative or supervisor for Street Works must gain the relevant Street Works qualification(s) and must register their certificates with the Street Works Qualifications Register (SWQR), under Sections 67 and 126 of the New Roads and Street Works Act.

CABWI works with SWQR to ensure that each qualified operative or supervisor is issued with an ID card which they may be required to produce on site to confirm their status. Street Works cards must be renewed every five years.

  • Have a basic understanding of location & avoidance of underground apparatus.
