Low Risk Confined Space Course

This Low Risk Confined Space course is designed for personnel who are required to enter and work in confined spaces where the risks are considered minimal and can be safely controlled without the need for breathing apparatus or complex rescue arrangements. The course provides essential knowledge and practical understanding of safe entry procedures, hazard awareness, and emergency response, ensuring delegates are confident and competent when working in low risk confined space environments. This practical and theory-based course provides delegates with the knowledge and confidence to work safely in environments such as tanks, chambers, ducts, meter pits, culverts and other enclosed spaces.
