Confined Space Entry Procedures Covering Escape Breathing Apparatus

Why is this course useful?

The course is designed for companies whose staff may be required to enter areas that are classified as confined spaces and which may pose a risk of serious injury or death. This course will cover the Confined Space Regulations 1997 in detail and the aim of this course will be to provide awareness of a safe working environment within a confined space.
