About this Course

Confined spaces can be found in almost all industry sectors. However, due to the wide variety of potential hazards faced, no two spaces are the same, and nor should they be treated as such.
The objective is to train people in the skills and knowledge required to enable them to enter, work safely, and to operate in a confined space environment.
Learning Outcomes
To provide delegates with the knowledge and practical experience to:
Enable them to safely set up and enter a Confined Space.
Be able to safely use escape breathing apparatus in the event of an emergency.
Course Contents
This training course covers:
Understanding Confined Spaces
To begin, we need to be able to identify a confined space – we look at the definition,
where it applies, and where it often doesn’t apply!
Hazards and Risks associated with Confined Spaces
In this section we look at the hazards and risks associated with typical confined spaces. Many of these are inherent, but a large amount are introduced, often as part of the work process, which can be easily overlooked.
Understanding Gas Monitors
The gas monitor, if correctly chosen and correctly used, becomes the vital emergency warning system for any changes in atmosphere.
RPE
If there is a change in atmosphere whilst we are in the confined space, then RPE is a crucial piece of equipment to enable us to exit that space safely.
Access & Egress
In this section, we look at access and egress equipment typically used, such as tripod,
man-riding winch, inertia blocks, full-body harnesses etc.
Practical Exercise.
We finish off the course with some practical exercises to give the delegate the confidence to be able to enter and exit a confined space safely, in an emergency situation.
