Why is Confined Space Training Important?
Any enclosed area that poses a foreseeable risk to workers is considered a confined space. Working in these spaces is not allowed if risks are not adequately assessed and controlled.
Confined space risks include fire, explosions, and asphyxiation from either lack of oxygen or exposure to toxic fumes. Depending on the type of space, workers may also be at risk of drowning.
This online Confined Space Training course develops awareness of risks, related safety measures and emergency response procedures. By completing the course, workers will understand the dangers of operating in confined spaces and the essentials of risk management.
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.
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 and risk assess all confined spaces your workers enter
Inform workers of your risk assessment findings
Provide adequate training and instructions to employees
Ensure employees are competent to work in confined spaces safely
Establish procedures for safe entry, work and exit from confined spaces
Supply appropriate safety equipment and tools for confined space work
Assign competent supervisors to oversee confined space operations
Plan for confined space emergencies
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.
