On average, 15 people a year die working in confined spaces in the UK. A much greater number of people are seriously injured, including those involved in rescue attempts.
A high percentage of those incidents involved people with little or no Confined Spaces training. As an individual and employer, you have a legal duty under Health & Safety Regulations to protect yourself and staff from such terrible industrial accidents.
Developed by Health, Safety and Environmental professionals, our one day training courses on working in Confined Spaces is designed for all levels of employees and management who undertake working in confined or restricted spaces and areas. You will be made aware of current H&S legislation, hazard recognition, equipment and techniques that can be used, accident prevention and rescue.
Hold your Confined Space course at either your own venue or attend one of our public courses which are regularly held at a number of different venues across the UK.
