About the Scheme

SHEA Telecommunications is our one day Health, Safety and Environmental Awareness scheme for those working on operational sites.   

A CSCS Alliance scheme.  

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.

Delivery

For the initial SHEA Telecommunications EUSR registration, there are two routes: 

Duration
Full Day	Face to face training delivery in a classroom and paper-based assessment
Full Day	Remote training delivery via an e-Classroom and remote assessment

---

Assessment

SHEA assessments (tests) are multiple choice and structured so that there is an assessment per module. They can be taken one module at a time, or all together at the same time. 

Reminder: It is a specific condition for all CSCS Partner Card Schemes that assessments are invigilated. Invigilation of assessments will ensure the results are authentic and reliable, and mitigate the risk of identity fraud, cheating or collusion.

CSCS Partner

The CSCS Logo gives individuals access to CSCS controlled operational sites for utilities work. 

The EUSR ID card carries the CSCS Logo which reduces the need for individuals to carry more than one card.

CITB Short Course

We are a recognised third-party awarding organisation with CITB, and our SHEA training and assessments are mapped to the standards for the CITB Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment – meaning all SHEA schemes are CSCS Alliance schemes.

This scheme is recognised by CITB for short course duration funding purposes and can be offered by Approved Training Organisations (ATOs). To find out more about CITB short course duration grants, click here.
