Safety Procedures when Working in Confined Spaces

Learn to assess and work safely in a Confined Space

Course Description: If you work on- or off-shore you will have to deal with working in confined spaces. The fact is that people who are not trained to work in such spaces are prone to injury due to improper procedures and a lack of understanding of confined spaces. The ‘Confined Space Entry Course’ teaches learners to identify confined spaces, what to do before entry, what equipment is required, and how to ensure the safety of oneself and other crew when working in confined spaces. Learners are also taught how to rescue someone from an enclosed space, whilst keeping the rescue team safe.
