Streetworks Excavation & Reinstatement (6156)

 

What has changed in the street works (Qualifications of Supervisors and Operatives) (England) Regulations 2009 in respect of units 002 & 010?

From 6 April 2010 Unit 002 (Signing, Lighting and Guarding) & Unit 010 (Monitoring Signing, Lighting & Guarding) become full and recognisable qualifications with the Street Works Qualification Register (SWQR). Qualification holders from this date can voluntarily apply to have these qualifications registered with SWQR.

However, from 6 April 2011 it is mandatory to register both of the full qualifications for 002 & 010 with the Street works Qualification Register (SWQR)


Is it mandatory for candidates to register 002 & 010 with SQWR between 6 April 2010 & 6 April 2011?

No. It is voluntary for qualification holders to register 002 & 010 with SWQR during this period.


Must candidates who have achieved units 002 & 010 before 6 April 2010 register their 002 & 010 units with SWQR?

Yes. Please consult the SWQR website for further details at www.swqr.org.uk


Is there a cut-off date by when all 002 & 010 units must be registered?

Yes. In line with the regulations, any person that holds a unit 002/010 certificate will have until 6 October 2011 (six months after 6 April 2011 date) to have their unit registered with the SWQR. Those that fail to do so will have to be assessed in the original unit before they can have it registered with SWQR and issued with a card.

Reassessment will be required every 5 years to re-register existing or future qualifications
