Working in a Confined Space
Confined Spaces pose a number of critical risks to those required to work in the space. It is vital that all involved in the work understand these risks and how to effectively manage them. Our course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to understand the hazards/risks, permit and documentation requirements, control measures, monitoring and testing requirements, responsibilities and duties to undertake confined space work.
We highly recommend the completion of Stage 3 as you will gain the knowledge to safely work in a confined space as well as have practical experience in atmospheric testing, planning and conducting an entry.
