Health and Safety
This course has been developed to provide learners with the underpinning awareness, procedural understanding and hazard recognition skills required to support safe working practices associated with confined space environments.
Confined spaces present significant workplace hazards including restricted access and egress, oxygen deficiency, toxic or flammable atmospheres, environmental hazards and emergency evacuation limitations. Failure to recognise these hazards or follow appropriate procedures can result in serious injury, ill health or fatality.
This programme has been designed to develop learner understanding of confined space terminology, legal responsibilities, hazard identification, permit-to-work systems, atmospheric hazards, communication procedures and emergency arrangements associated with low to medium risk confined space environments.
The course focuses on awareness and procedural understanding and is not intended to confirm operational confined space entry competence, rescue capability or breathing apparatus operator competence.
