Working in Low Risk Confined Spaces

The Working in Low Risk Confined Spaces course is valid for 3 years and allows individuals to be competent to test a confined space atmosphere, select appropriate work equipment, and ensure emergency plans are in a place before work commences. The comprehensive 1-Day course is predominantly theoretical. Personnel will gain the knowledge to work in low risk confined spaces, operate a Safe System of Work, and carry out basic self and assisted rescue, including use of Escape Breathing Apparatus in a hazardous environment. We also deliver Medium Risk and High Risk training courses.
