Working in Confined Spaces
Course Overview
This course will cover the legislation associated with working in confined spaces. What constitutes a confined space, the potential hazards, safe operating procedures, and 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.
Course Content
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're required to perform any work activity in, or in the proximity of, a confined space, you'll also need an approved standard of practical training at the appropriate level.
Confined space awareness training online covers the key legislation and its application to working in a confined space, giving staff the legal grounding behind the practical precautions that follow.
The course covers the dangers of working in a confined space and helps staff identify the hazards involved, so risks are recognised before they become incidents.
The course defines and states the safety procedures that can be used to reduce the risk associated with confined space work, giving staff practical measures rather than only theoretical awareness.
Confined space awareness training online covers the communication methods needed and the emergency procedures that would need to be followed, since confined space incidents often escalate quickly if communication breaks down.
The course finishes by covering the importance of the paperwork involved in meeting legal obligations, so staff understand that compliance depends on documentation as well as safe practice.
Anyone who needs awareness of confined space hazards and risks without being required to enter a confined space themselves. This course does not provide the practical entry training required for anyone who will actually work in or near a confined space.
