Why Confined Space training?
Confined spaces come in many forms – silos, tanks, pipes, shafts – and are not always obvious. Trenches and tanks may trap poisonous gases despite being shallow and open to the air. Other spaces may appear to offer easy access but would make retrieval of a casualty very difficult.
Our courses give workers the knowledge they need to first recognise confined spaces, and then plan and carry out work safely within them.
Confined Space Training Levels
- – Simple, unobstructed entry with adequate natural ventilation
- – More complex entry with minimal natural ventilation (Escape BA)
- – Atmospheric hazards present (Full BA), complex entry
Do employees need confined space training?
The Confined Spaces regulations 1997 States that .
“Employers are required to provided such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure the health safety at work of employees. Specific training for work in confined spaces will depend on an individual’s previous experience and the type of work they will be doing.”
At Access Techniques we offer a course that covers the broad spectrum of work that is carried out in industrial environments. We can also specifically tailor training to the environment your employees will be working in.
