WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is predominantly intended for practical users who need to enter spaces which are substantially enclosed and where there is a potentially hazardous working environment. It would also benefit Managers, Supervisors, Engineers etc (who may have need to control work in these locations) as an addition to the Confined Spaces Risk Assessors Course. All delegates should be physically fit. If the facilities are suitable an entry or simulated entry exercise may be conducted.

 

OBJECTIVES
