Confined Space Entry
A staggering number of workers are killed or seriously injured every year in confined spaces due to lack of knowledge of the environments they are working in and the equipment they are working with.
This course is intended for participants who require the knowledge and safe working practices for reducing risks when entering or working in confined space environments.
Through a combination of classroom theory and practical exercises, the participants will gain the necessary knowledge in order to react and work within a confined space environment including the safe use of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.
