SHEA Power

What is the Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness (SHEA) Power scheme?

SHEA Power is our one-day Health, Safety and Environmental training scheme for those working on operational sites, both permanent and temporary, at all levels including operatives, supervisors and managers.

It is developed in collaboration with employers and key stakeholders from across the industries in the energy and utilities sector to improve the safety of the workforce and reduce costs associated with injury, illness or accidents.
