Awarding working qualifications

Street Works Qualifications for Supervisors and Operatives

Under the New Roads and Street Works Act (1991) (NRSWA), the installation, renewal, maintenance and inspection of underground apparatus in any street or roads must be under the control of competent people. 

This means that street works will be supervised by a qualified street works ‘supervisor’.  In addition, whether the street is excavated or not, a ‘trained operative’, with an ‘operative’ qualification must be present on site at all times when the work is in progress.

If you are working or supervising works in the highway, you could be required to hold one or more of the Street Works qualifications, depending on your job role.  Details of the Street Works Scheme structure can be found here. 

The Street Works Scheme is delivered through approved assessment centres.  If you would like a list of current CABWI Street Works assessment centres, details of how to set up a Street Works centre, or if you have any queries about the scheme content or delivery, please contact us.
