National Water Hygiene Card & SHEA Water
The National Water Hygiene Card also known as Blue Card training is short mandatory training that all UK water companies require for individuals to enter clean water sites or work on the clean water network – known as ‘Restricted Operations’. Individuals will be expected to complete a multiple-choice exam at the end of the course. Once this exam is passed, the Blue Card will be available to be downloaded on the app and this must be always accessible when on-site. This live training can be delivered online or in a classroom and has to be renewed every 3 years.
NetOps Training
NetOps is our web-based operator tool to support network activities such as DMA Leakage Detection. It brings together Netbase data and cloud systems data into a central view to visualise the live water network. There is a Desktop with Extended Features for Analysts & Planners and a Mobile version for Field Operations. NetOps is split into three sections, Explore, Mobile and Downstream.
NetOps Training can be delivered physically in classroom sessions, or virtually, dependant on the client requirements. There will be client specific slide decks and exercises to give confidence to those who will be using it. We have clear objectives to ensure all aspects of the application are covered. Training is delivered in three sessions to coincide with the three sections of NetOps. Each session will be approximately 2.5hrs long.
