This basic awareness training is intended for anyone who might be required to work in confined spaces, as well as co-workers, employers and managers who may be involved in confined space work.
The purpose of this training is to provide a thorough understanding of the main hazards associated with confined spaces and the risk assessment process to control them.
Why Is Confined Space Risk Assessment Training Important?
Nearly 15 deaths occur in the UK every year while working in confined spaces, as per the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
These accidents occur in a wide range of industries and occupations. This includes using complex plants and machinery, working underground and working in storage vessels.
It is vital to put in place emergency procedures and to create awareness among workers regarding confined space hazards and necessary precautions.
