Working in Confined Spaces

IIRSM, CPD & IOSH Approved

Course Description

At the end of this course, you’ll be able to demonstrate your understanding of the control measures to be followed when working in, or near to, confined spaces as detailed in a safe working procedure.

This course will cover the legislation associated with working in confined spaces. What counts as a confined space, the potential hazards, safe operating procedures, emergency procedures, and rescue.

Important note: This is an awareness course only, designed for people who need to be aware of the hazards and risks of confined space working but are not required to enter a confined space. If you are required to perform any work activity in, or in the proximity of, a confined space, then you will also need to have an 'approved' standard of practical training at the 'appropriate' level.
