Confined Space Training

Our one day Low/Medium risk Confined Space training course consists of both theory and practical exercises relating to working in confined spaces, with practical tasks being undertaken in our own purpose-built confined space training unit.

The course is tailored to suit those working in industries such as construction, rail, asbestos removal, agriculture, food production and telecommunications who may be required to enter or work in confined spaces such as pits, sewers, trenches, flues and chambers where there is a low to medium risk of serious injury from hazardous substances or conditions within the space.

The course equips delegates with the knowledge and skills to recognise risks and deal with them confidently and in line with the Confined Spaces Regulations (1997). The course has a maximum size of 12 delegates and is delivered, certified and accredited by Mark One Training.

• Recognition of a confined space
• Risk assessments
• Safe systems of work
• Tea Break (Tea & Coffee provided by Mark 1 Training)
• Using emergency breathing apparatus
• Use of tripods, winches and other safety equipment
• Recognition of residual hazards
