Working in any confined space is dangerous despite the level of risk. This course will help you to look after the safety of yourself and others when entering the likes of a stairwell, valve chambers and meter pits, to name a few examples.
It is also a legal requirement for employers to make sure that their workers are properly trained. With the correct knowledge and skill, you’ll recognise hazards and understand your safety equipment, which will help you avoid dangerous situations and control them.
