Confined Spaces

This course is appropriate for those working in operational roles undertaking work in confined spaces (enclosed or partially enclosed) for the purpose of carrying out work or inspections.

The course can be tailored to suit the practical scenarios relevant to your company’s confined space operations. It is designed to teach participants how to identify confined space hazards, how to work safely within confined spaces according to an issued permit and how to operate various confined space safety equipment.

This course is not recommended for Standby / Observers as this course covers the skills of entering and working in a confined space including the hazards and typical control measures for working in the space, when they should enter, not enter and leave a space. It is a generic course designed to provide enough information for workers to work safely in a confined space.

This covers a duty of care for working in a confined space. Acting as a confined space standby/observer places additional responsibilities on a person not covered in the one day course. To act as a confined space standby / observer the workers duty of care is dramatically increased, and therefore they require a higher level of training as outlined in the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2017, below.
