Confined Space Training

We have supplied training to a range of clients whose property includes confined spaces such as commercial and freight shipping lines and energy providers.

Our trainers all have a background in the UK’s fire and rescue service and were the first to develop and use Airline Rescue and have been using this since 2008.
