Course Overview

Working in Medium Risk Confined Spaces provides the knowledge and skills to safety work in confined spaces with shallow entries, adequate ventilation and no likely risk of flooding. Medium risk confined spaces present a realistic possibility of encountering a specified risk during the work activity.

Delegates will gain practical experience of two methods of entering a confined space. Tasks will include staying on a lifeline to complete the task where retrieval equipment would be operated if they collapsed, and removal from a lifeline where a rescue team would be required.

The training is delivered as a combination of theoretical and practical elements with a focus on providing hands-on experience for delegates.
