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.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Working in confined spaces puts you at risk of low oxygen levels, toxic gases and fire hazards that can turn a routine task into a life-threatening situation. A confined space risk assessment helps identify these dangers before work begins. It ensures the right safety measures are in place so workers can enter and exit confined spaces safely.
This Confined Space Risk Assessment Training explains how to recognise risks, implement controls and respond to emergencies. If you work in confined spaces, knowing how to assess risks properly is essential.
A risk assessment for confined spaces requires you to identify hazards and take steps to reduce them. The process usually includes:
Spotting the dangers – Low oxygen, toxic fumes, flooding or unstable structures.
Evaluating the risks – Looking at how likely each hazard is to cause harm.
Controlling the risks – Using ventilation, gas detectors and safety equipment.
Preparing for emergencies – Making sure escape routes and rescue plans are in place.
Training workers – Ensuring everyone understands safety procedures.
Skipping any of these steps increases the risk of accidents. This training helps you get it right.
