Type a question
What does “CAT” stand for?
Cable Avoidance Tool
Cable Analysis Tester
Circuit Alignment Tool
What is the main purpose of using a CAT & Genny?
To test electrical circuits above ground
To measure soil moisture
To detect underground pipes and cables before excavation
What is “Genny” short for?
Signal Generator
Geophysical sensor
General locator
What type of signal does the Genny transmit?
A magnetic pulse
A microwave signal
A locating signal
The CAT detects signals from:
Only the Genny
The Genny and existing power or radio signals
Only buried steel pipes
Before starting excavation, when should you scan the area with a CAT & Genny?
After obtaining plans but before excavation
Only after digging starts
Only if there are no visible utilities
What does it mean if you get a strong signal on the CAT?
The service is deep underground
The service is broken or damaged
The service is close to the surface
Which of the following best describes the “Induction” method of using a Genny?
Directly connecting to a cable
Using a clamp to apply signal
Using the Genny in the assumed position of the service and sweeping the area nearby with the CAT
What should you do if no signal is detected with the CAT and Genny?
Assume there are no buried services
Recheck equipment, connections, and try different modes
Start digging immediately
What is the safest way to confirm the depth of a detected cable?
Use the CAT’s depth estimation function (if available)
Assume it’s always at a standard depth
Dig until you find it
Which of the following is a limitation of the CAT and Genny?
It only works in dry conditions
It can’t detect power cables
It cannot detect non-metallic pipes
Why is it important to keep CAT and Genny equipment calibrated?
To ensure accuracy and reliable detection
To make them lighter to carry
To improve battery life
Which piece of legislation specifically governs the safe use of lifting equipment and lifting operations?
COSHH
LOLER
PUWER
What is the purpose of a 'Health and Safety File' under CDM 2015?
To store all financial records for the project
To provide information for future construction, maintenance, repair, and demolition work
To record all daily briefings and toolbox talks
What is the primary benefit of conducting regular site safety inspections?
To identify hazards and unsafe practices before an incident occurs
To find faults with worker performance
To assign blame after an accident
What are the minimum welfare facilities that must be provided on a construction site?
A hot food canteen and a gym
A full medical centre and individual changing rooms
Toilets, washing facilities, drinking water, and facilities for changing and rest
When dealing with electrical equipment on site, what is the most critical immediate action if a power cable is accidentally cut?
Attempt to repair it immediately
Switch off the power at the source and make it safe
Cover the cut with tape
What is the purpose of a 'Method Statement'?
To detail how a specific task will be carried out safely, identifying hazards and control measures
To list all the tools required for a task
To provide a summary of the project timeline
What is the primary role of a Construction Manager regarding health and safety on site?
To delegate all health and safety responsibilities to others
To plan, manage, monitor, and coordinate health and safety during the construction phase
To solely implement the designs provided by the Principal Designer
Which of these is a key factor to consider when assessing the risk of manual handling operations?
The colour of the load
The time of day the lifting is performed
The weight, size, and shape of the load, the task, the environment, and individual capability
