Signing, Lighting & Guarding (Operatives)

NRSWA O1 training in Lancashire gives operatives the skills to safely set up signing, lighting, and guarding (SLG) on highways. Utilities Training Limited delivers this course using practical, hands-on methods. As a result, learners meet legal requirements under the New Roads and Street Works Act (NRSWA).

What O1 SLG Training Covers

This O1 Signing Lighting and Guarding course teaches learners how to safely manage traffic and protect work areas. Learners set up road signs, barriers, and warning lights to control risks on-site. In addition, they follow approved methods to protect both workers and the public.

Furthermore, learners understand how to assess work areas and choose the correct traffic management setup. They apply risk assessment techniques and follow safe systems of work. Therefore, they improve workplace safety and reduce the risk of incidents.

After completing the course, learners can register with the Street Works Qualification Register (https://www.swqr.org.uk), which opens in a new window. The SWQR card proves competence and allows operatives to work legally on public highways.

Practical Training and Assessment

We deliver hands-on NRSWA O1 training at our Lancashire training centre or on-site where suitable conditions exist. Learners practise setting up signing, lighting, and guarding systems in realistic environments. In addition, our trainers provide guidance based on real site experience.

Learners complete both theory and practical assessments. These assessments confirm their ability to apply SLG correctly. Successful candidates receive certification and can apply for an SWQR operative card.
