& utilities
EUSR is the Energy & Utility Skills Register — the scheme that records who is cleared to work on the gas, water, power and waste networks. If your people are going onto a utility site or touching the clean water network, this is the card the client asks for.

What EUSR is for
EUSR is a register rather than a qualification in its own right. Training providers assess against a scheme standard, the result is recorded on the register, and the client checks the register — or the card — before letting anyone on site.
In practice it is how utility clients and their contractors prove that everyone on the job has had the right safety, health and environmental briefing for that particular network. Water, gas, power and waste each have their own flavour.
National Water Hygiene
The one most people call "the blue card". Anyone working on or near the clean, potable water network needs it, and it exists to stop contamination getting into the public supply. It runs for three years before it has to be renewed.
SHEA passports
SHEA stands for Safety, Health and Environmental Awareness. The passports are network-specific — gas, water, power and so on — and are the standard entry requirement for contractors working across the utilities.
Check which one the client actually wants
Utility clients are specific, and a SHEA Water card will not get someone onto a gas job. [Add a line here about helping clients work out which scheme their contract requires — this is exactly the kind of advice that wins the booking.]

[Replace with the EUSR schemes you are registered to deliver. Each of these is worth its own page later.]
How the course runs
Your team is the only firm in the room. We arrange the venue, you pick the date, and the whole crew goes through together rather than being split across three different weeks.
[Detail on how EUSR courses run — whether they can be combined in a day, what ID delegates need to bring for registration, and how quickly cards are issued.]
Questions we get asked
Answered properly, in plain English. These are marked up so Google can show them directly in search results.
How long does the water hygiene card last?
Three years. It then needs renewing before anyone works on the clean water network again.
What is the difference between SHEA and water hygiene?
Water hygiene is about protecting the public water supply from contamination. SHEA is a broader safety, health and environmental awareness passport for working on a particular utility network. Many water contractors need both.
Do delegates need ID?
[Answer this — EUSR registration usually needs photo ID, and people turning up without it is a wasted day for everyone.]
Can you run more than one in a day?
[Say whether you can combine, for example, water hygiene and SHEA Water in one visit. It saves the client a day and is a strong reason to book with you.]
What does it cost?
[From £X per delegate, depending on scheme and group size.]
