CAT and Genny Course

The CAT and Genny Course is a practical training programme that teaches workers how to locate and identify underground utility services before excavation or ground-breaking work begins. The course helps reduce the risk of accidentally striking buried cables, pipes, or other underground services, improving safety for both workers and the surrounding environment.
