The aim of the NRSWA Supervisor Course is to enable Supervisors to gain the necessary qualifications under the New roads and Streetworks Act 1991 which allow them to carry out their duties on the public highway, ranging from excavation to permanent re-instatement of paved structures.
This safety course will assess qualified experienced supervisors on their ability to perform duties to the standards prescribed in the SQA, in order to safeguard themselves and others around them.
