Confined Space Training

Working in confined spaces is an accepted area of high risk, therefore we are legally required to control strictly all activities around any entries into confined spaces for work purposes. On average there are currently 15 deaths each year (source HSE) within confined spaces, with many more incidents reported to the HSE on an annual basis.

This tailored programme allows you the opportunity to train your staff in you own confined space procedures whilst giving them the practical application of both the equipment used on your own site and the procedures you adopt. The programme is both interactive and practical allowing the attendees the opportunity to gain a practical working knowledge of confined spaces and their associated hazards.
