This includes competent use of the appropriate equipment to enable entry and exit to be made safely.

There are 3 course available depending on your working environment or requirements.

Level 1  – Low Risk

Level 2 – Medium Risk

Emergency procedures, including emergency breathing apparatus

Level 3 – High Risk

Who Should Attend?

These courses are predominantly intended for practical users who need to enter spaces which are substantially enclosed and where there is a potentially hazardous working environment. It would also benefit Managers, Supervisors, Engineers etc (who may have need to control work in these locations) as an addition to the Confined Spaces Risk Assessors Course. All delegates should be physically fit, as an entry exercise will be carried out.
