Course Overview:

Working in Confined Spaces can be very dangerous and potentially lethal. Anyone involved with entering, controlling or supervising persons who are involved with confined space work must have received relevant training prior to undertaking any confined space work (1997 Confined Space Regulations). Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in prosecution. Many people lose their life or are seriously injured in confined spaces every year, including a large number of people who have been trying to rescue others trapped in a confined space without having sufficient equipment or having received appropriate training.
