About Confined Space Course

Confined spaces are enclosed areas where workers face potential risks such as hazardous substances or a lack of oxygen. Working in these spaces can be dangerous if risks are not adequately assessed and controlled.

Our Confined Space Training course develops awareness of hazards, related safety measures and emergency response procedures. The training programme also covers the importance of confined space entry permits and the use of safety equipment. It enables workers to minimise risks and protect themselves and others while operating in confined spaces.

The course certificate proves users have knowledge of safe working in confined spaces. It does not qualify the user as competent to work in confined spaces.

Why Is Confined Spaces Training Important?

Approximately 15 workers die every year in the UK as a result of confined space accidents.

Employees working in confined spaces are vulnerable to a wide range of hazards. These hazards include fire and asphyxiation from reduced oxygen levels or toxic fumes. Depending on the type of work, they may also face the possibility of drowning.

Risk levels are increased by difficulty navigating or evacuating confined spaces if an incident occurs. Emergency responders may also struggle to gain access or rescue injured workers.

Employees working in confined spaces must be aware of the specific risks and understand how to control them. They must also know what to do in an emergency.

Confined Space Awareness Training helps workers understand the hazards and risks involved with confined space work. It also develops an understanding of emergency procedures and supports compliance with regulations.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of employees. This duty extends to employees working in confined spaces and is reinforced by The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997.

If your employees work in confined spaces, you must:

  • Identify confined spaces and assess and manage associated risks
  • Provide confined space training for employees
  • Inform workers about potential hazards and safety measures
  • Ensure employees are competent to work in confined spaces safely
  • Establish procedures for entry, work and exit from confined spaces
  • Supply appropriate safety equipment and tools for confined space work
  • Assign qualified supervisors to oversee confined space operations
  • Plan for confined space emergencies
