Course Overview
Confined Space Training
A confined space is an area that is substantially enclosed and presents serious risks, such as exposure to hazardous substances or dangerous conditions within or near the space. In the UK, every year, numerous individuals suffer fatal or severe injuries while working in confined spaces. It is essential to have proper training before entering these environments to ensure safety. This Working in Confined Spaces course provides an understanding of the key legislation surrounding confined spaces, helping learners understand what qualifies as a confined space, the potential hazards, safe operating procedures, emergency protocols, and rescue procedures. This course is suitable for those working in the construction industry that requires basic awareness of confined space safety.
Designed as an introductory awareness course, it is ideal for individuals who need to recognise the hazards and risks associated with confined space work but are not required to enter such spaces. If you need to perform tasks inside or near confined spaces, additional practical training to an approved standard will be necessary. You will be equipped to demonstrate a clear understanding of the control measures outlined in safe working procedures for working in or near confined spaces. This course is accredited by leading industry bodies, including IOSH, IIRSM, and CPD, ensuring it meets high professional standards.
