NERS Passport Training Face-to-Face
This course consolidates Quinns Training Services' full NERS Passport e-learning suite — normally completed as 8 self-paced online modules of roughly one hour each — into a single instructor-led day. Every module is built around a mandatory NERS passport unit, so what delegates complete maps directly onto what LRQA assessors check against a company's NERS registration.
Description
This 1-day format suits organisations who want to complete an operative's full NERS passport evidence in one planned session, rather than spreading modules over several weeks of self-paced online study.
Aims & Objectives
1 1:500 Drawing Appreciation Interpret 1:500 scale utility drawings, recognise standard symbols and plant markings, and relate drawing information to on-site conditions before work begins.
2 Utility PPE Requirements Identify the PPE required for utility operations, explain its correct selection, fitting, use and maintenance, and recognise when PPE alone is not sufficient control.
3 Electricity at Work Regulations Explain the duties placed on employers and operatives under the Electricity at Work Regulations and apply them to safe systems of work around electrical apparatus.
4 ESQCR (Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations) Describe the purpose and key requirements of ESQCR and how they affect the safe design, construction and operation of electricity networks.
5 COSHH and Isocyanates Identify hazardous substances encountered in utility work, including isocyanates, and apply COSHH control measures to protect health.
6 Risk Assessment Carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for utility tasks, identifying hazards, evaluating risk and selecting appropriate control measures.
7 Manual Handling Apply safe manual handling technique and recognise when a task requires mechanical aids or further assessment to reduce injury risk.
8 HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome) Recognise the causes and early signs of HAVS, apply exposure control measures, and understand employer and operative responsibilities for vibration risk.
Assessment
- Delivered face-to-face by a qualified instructor, using presentation, discussion and practical examples relevant to utility operations.
- Each module concludes with a short knowledge check to confirm understanding before certification.
Certification
On successful completion, delegates receive a certificate for each of the 8 modules. Certificates map directly to mandatory NERS passport units and are intended to be filed as part of the operative's ongoing competency evidence, ready for inspection at LRQA assessment.
Prerequisites
- No formal prior qualification is required.
