Confined Space

Many workplaces contain areas that are considered “confined spaces” because while they are not necessarily designed for people, they are large enough for workers to enter and perform certain jobs.

A confined space also has limited or restricted means for entry or exit and is not designed for continuous occupancy.

Confined spaces include, but are not limited to, tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, ductwork, pipelines, etc.

All candidates whose work-related activities involve the management and control of safety, risks, audits, incident costs, environmental aspects, legislation, quality control and confined spaces work programmes should be attending and completing this course.
