Working in Confined Spaces Supervisor Course
Conducted by our experienced confined space technicians, this advanced course is designed to train participants to supervise or manager workers carrying out work in confined spaces by providing an understanding of the legal requirements, as well as practical risk control measures, safe systems of work and equipment that can be applied to any confined spaces situation, to ensure work is carried out safely. This course provides the competency requirements to develop safe working practices, conduct atmospheric testing of a confined space and develop permits for workers operating in confined space environments. Any person who is required to enter or work in confined spaces or supervise and manage confined space workers or confined spaces should attend this course.
Anyone who has confined spaces on their site, but is not required to enter confined spaces should attend our non-accredited Confined Space Awareness course. If you are required to conduct rescue from within a confined space you should also attend our Confined Space Rescue course.
