NRSWA - New Roads & Street Works Training - Supervisor Units 1, 10 - 14 & 16 (LA, S1-S5, & S7)

Course Overview

This NRSWA course is accredited by City & Guilds and is essential for any supervisor charged with the
responsibility of overseeing excavation and reinstatement on the public highway.

The New Roads and Street Works Act requires that anyone who executes, works for, or on behalf of
a utility company, is qualified for the activities being carried out.

Any street works site must have at least one qualified operative on site at all times during works, and
the site must have a qualified supervisor appointed to the site who can oversee the works. The
supervisor need not be on site at all times, but must be able to adequately carry out the role. The
supervisor qualification does not replace or overrule the operative qualification and one person
cannot cover both roles at the same time.

The courses are arranged for delegates to become qualified in combinations of operative of
supervisor units. For your guidance, operatives are manually carrying out the work, supervisors are
trained to make sure that the operatives are doing the work correctly and safely.
