How Do I get an EUSR Card?
The EUSR Card is the essential “safety passport” for professionals working in the UK’s energy and utility sectors, including Gas, Water, Power, and Water Hygiene roles. It proves your foundational competence in safety, health, and environmental awareness to employers and site operators. Getting your card is a straightforward, three-step process: you must choose the correct scheme relevant to your industry, successfully complete the accredited training, and then have your achievement registered with the Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR). The key is to select a course that aligns directly with your work sector to ensure your card is valid for the operational sites you need to access.
Step 1: Choose and Book an Accredited Course
The first step is selecting the appropriate scheme. The most common cards fall under the SHEA (Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness) suite, such as SHEA Gas, SHEA Water, and SHEA Power, which are essential for site access in those respective utilities. For those working near clean water assets, the National Water Hygiene scheme (often called the ‘Blue Card’) is required.
Once you know your required scheme, you must book with an EUSR-approved training provider, such as CST Training.
Step 2: Successfully Complete the EUSR Card Assessment
Successfully completing the training is the only way to earn your card. The training is typically a one-day session, and the assessment is usually a multiple-choice examination taken at the end of the course. Since the course is designed to be highly relevant and practical, active engagement during the training session is the best preparation for passing the test and securing your competence registration.
Step 3: Registration
Once you’ve passed your relevant training, it’s simply a matter of registering for your card.
Conclusion: How Do I get an EUSR Card?
Getting the card requires booking and passing a course with an approved provider, followed by registration on the national EUSR database.
