Confined Space Training · Medium Risk
When working in confined spaces (CS) workers can become trapped or overcome by fumes, vapours, poisonous or explosive gases.
Avoidable accidents happen in a wide range of industries as CS are not just tanks, vessels or chambers – spaces do not have to be totally enclosed to be considered ‘confined’.
This course is about working in CS environments where there is a medium risk that a specified hazard may be present with also focusing on the time taken to evacuate increases risk to entrants. It will require the use of escape breathing apparatus.
Employers must identify if a work activity, hazards and area of work is, or should be classed as a CS. Anyone working in a CS must be properly trained.
Course includes:
- H&S Laws & Regulations relating to CS
- Responsibilities of employers and employees
- Definitions and types of CS
- Hazards and risks – necessary precautions required
- Understanding safe systems of work with particular reference to ‘permits to work’ where appropriate
- To work safely in medium risk CS
- Emergency procedures
- Prepare and use escape breathing apparatus in accordance with manufacturers instructions
- Practical session demonstrating safe exit procedures where delegates use breathing apparatus and 20mtr rescue winch.
- Test paper/ questions/ handouts and review
There is a practical element to the course – delegates require their PPE which must include a hard hat, hi-viz top, hard boots. Breathing apparatus is supplied.
From the start of 2022 delegates will receive a digital certificate and a PDF of their I.D card, hard copies and I.D cards will no longer be issued. This will significantly reduce the wait time for certification and delegates will be able to share and store their certification more securely. This is part of our ambition to be net zero.
Who needs this training
People whose job role involves entering a CS, and their overseers to help them understand the dangers, how to use safe systems of work and to how to put adequate emergency procedures in place.
