EUSR SHEA Gas Conversion

Course details

The EUSR SHEA Gas Conversion Course is designed for professionals currently holding a SHEA passport who wish to expand their credentials into the gas sector. This rapid, compliance-focused training acknowledges your existing SHEA status and delivers gas-specific health, safety, and environmental content in under a day (typically 2-3 hours).

Ideal for operatives branching into gas infrastructure, this course offers a quicker route than repeating the full SHEA Gas course

Who Should Attend The SHEA Gas Conversion Course?

• Professionals with a valid SHEA Water passport transitioning into gas operations
• Contractors needing formal gas-sector access and compliance credentials
• Existing SHEA-certified staff looking to cross-train for broader utility roles

There’s no need to retake the full SHEA course if you hold a recognised SHEA passport.

Course Content

• Gas utility safety expectations and regulatory standards
• Common hazards found in gas networks
• Environmental protection and gas industry compliance
• Role-based responsibility in a gas utility context
• SHEA portfolio evidence for EUSR Gas registration

Duration: Typically 2-3 hours, delivered via interactive workshops and scenario discussions.

Modules

The course will be delivered through the context of the gas industry.

Assessment & Certification

Participants will complete a multiple-choice assessment. Successful candidates will be registered on the EUSR and awarded the SHEA Gas card valid for 3 years. 

To remain certified in this area, you will need to retake the SHEA Gas course before the expiry date on your card.

The scheme is affiliated with the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) allowing utility workers access to CSCS controlled sites for purposes of utilities work without the need to hold a separate card. The utilities industries share a common goal and commitment to robust mechanisms that enable all workers to demonstrate health and safety awareness and relevant skills and competences.

CSCS affiliated cards carry the CSCS hologram in the top left corner.

Prerequisites

SHEA Conversion is only open to delegates who take the course no more than 2 years from the date of their original SHEA Course.
