At the end of this course you’ll be able to demonstrate your understanding of the control measures to be followed when working in, or near to, confined spaces as detailed in a safe working procedure.

This course will cover the legislation associates with working in confined spaces. What counts as a confined space, the potential hazards, safe operating procedures, 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.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Recognise the key legislation and its application to working in a confined space
• Understand the dangers of working in a confined space and identify the hazards involved
• Define and state the safety procedures that can use to reduce the risk associated
• Have an awareness of the communication methods needed and the emergency procedures that would need to be followed
• Understand the importance of the paperwork involved to meet legal obligations
