New Roads and Street Works (NRSWA)
These qualifications are for those involved in the Excavation and Re-instatement of the highway and are specified under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. They are a legal requirement for “statutory undertakers” (i.e. Utility Contractors) and for those working under “section 50 licenses” (Drainage works etc).
Where works are subject to the Act there must be a minimum of 1 qualified NRSWA Operative on every site that is qualified for the operations being carried out and there must have a NRSWA Supervisor available to visit the site at least daily.
The qualifications are also often specified by client organisations and local authorities when appointing contractors for works involving excavation or reinstatement of the highway for other purposes.
Q4 is approved by CABWI Awarding Body to teach, instruct, and assess trainees with the training to the required standard.
