The Echo3 Cat and Genny course explains what the Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) and Signal Generator (GENNY) are, how they work, how to use them safely & effectively.
The training takes around 40 minutes to complete and a certificate is emailed on successful completion. This course is aimed at supervisors & operators who will use CAT and GENNY during excavation.
By the end of the course learners will be able to operate both devices, understand their limitations, & appreciate their role in preventing damage & injury on site.
They will also gain a basic awareness of relevant guidance & how this course complements wider excavation safety training.
Please note this course covers general operating principles. Different makes & models may vary in controls, displays & button colours, so always follow manufacturer’s instructions. Nevertheless, the core methods of scanning, tracing & marking are the same across most CAT and GENNY units.
