About the course

Introduction to Confined Space Entry & Rescue

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 delegates who require the knowledge to allow them to apply safe working practices, reducing unnecessary risk when entering or working in confined space environments.

We simulate a real life enclosure where the possibility of a dangerous environment could exist and features within the structure include top and side entry access hatches, chambers, tunnels, ladders, smoke machines and audio alarms. There are also a number of infra-red cameras inside the structure for delegate monitoring and recordings for feedback. This specifically designed structure allows delegates to receive the most thorough experience of confined space training, either alone or in teams, preparing them for a real life situation.

Course Content

The Confined Space Entry & Rescue course prepares you to work safely in confined spaces by combining expert instruction with realistic scenario-based training. Many workplace injuries occur due to a lack of awareness in these environments. This course closes that gap, teaching you to recognise hazards, use gas detection and breathing apparatus, and carry out safe entry, work, and rescue procedures—all in a purpose-built, life-like training structure. You’ll cover the following key topics:

Confined Space Awareness

Understand what constitutes a confined space, typical hazards, and risk mitigation strategies.

Legislation & Responsibilities

Review relevant health and safety regulations, including roles and duties under confined space entry rules.

Gas Testing & Atmospheric Monitoring

Learn how to test for oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, and explosive atmospheres using gas detection equipment.

Permit-to-Work Systems

Understand safe systems of work and the importance of entry permits for confined space tasks.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Use and limitations of PPE, including harnesses, respirators, and fall arrest systems.

Rescue Techniques & Equipment

Hands-on training in rescue procedures, including tripod use, winches, and stretcher extractions.

Emergency Procedures & Communication

Simulate emergency scenarios to practice rapid response, casualty handling, and coordination.
