SHEA training provides a structured and industry-recognised approach to safety, health, and environmental awareness for those working across the utilities sector. The training equips individuals in the gas, power, and water industries with the knowledge required to work safely on operational sites while meeting recognised industry standards.
Through practical, scenario-based learning, SHEA training supports technical competence, risk awareness, and regulatory compliance. Successful completion results in EUSR registration, helping employers and site operators confirm that workers meet the required safety and access expectations for utility-controlled environments.
A SHEA EUSR registration gives confidence there is the required knowledge and understanding to work safely in an operational environment. The training embeds best practice in health and safety and environmental awareness and supports the HSE’s essential principles for good health and safety performance.
The one-day courses are designed for all individuals requiring access to operational sites, including supervisors and managers. All SHEA schemes were 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.
There are no formal entry requirements, but all candidates must have a basic understanding of written and spoken English.
You will need a stable internet connection, a laptop or desktop computer. A tablet that is 10” or greater may be used. Mobile phones cannot be used under any circumstances. You should be in a room on your own but if this is not possible headphones must be used.
You will be sent an answer sheet that you must print out. It is a multiple-choice tick box style sheet and once completed you will take a photo and submit to the trainer.
In compliance with the Energy & Utility Skills Register, SHEA EUSR registration provides evidence for an engineer that they are knowledgeable and understand work safety in an operational environment. A EUSR registration card qualifies an operations worker to access and work in a site related to the gas, power, and telecommunications sectors.
SHEA Gas lasts for five years and all other registrations last for three years, from the date of the course.
One working day.
The cost of training includes EUSR registration, a virtual card as well as a plastic smart card.
All EUSR SHEA cards carry the CSCS logo giving the individual access to operational sites.
EUSR SHEA courses are normally delivered online via a virtual classroom with a trainer to help and guide you through the course. The course can be delivered in a classroom subject to minimum numbers and if this is your preference, please get in touch to arrange a suitable date.
