What is the Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness (SHEA) Gas scheme?
SHEA Gas is our one day Health, Safety and Environmental Awareness scheme for those working on operational sites and is a CSCS Alliance scheme.
It is developed in collaboration with employers and key stakeholders from across the industries in our sector, so the content is relevant – all helping to improve the safety of the workforce and reduce costs associated with injury, illness or accidents.

CSCS Partner
The CSCS Logo gives individuals access to CSCS controlled operational sites for utilities work.
The EUSR ID card carries the CSCS Logo which reduces the need for individuals to carry more than one card.
CITB Short Course
We are a recognised third-party awarding organisation with CITB, and our SHEA training and assessments are mapped to the standards for the CITB Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment – meaning all SHEA schemes have CSCS Partner Card status.
The CSCS Logo gives individuals access to CSCS controlled operational sites for utilities work.
The EUSR ID card carries the CSCS Logo which reduces the need for individuals to carry more than one card.
This scheme is recognised by CITB for short course duration funding purposes and can be offered by ATOs.
