It will be of interest to managers, estimators, planners, engineers, geologists, digger operators, surveyors, drillers and road workers involved in any type of excavation work.

Make sure your staff know how to obtain, read and interpret PowerSystems cable records and understand the dangers of electricity, assess risks, plan and carry out work safely. Some basic Ordinance Survey map knowledge would be an advantage.
