Overview

These courses provide delegates with the knowledge and skills required to work with specified risks in confined spaces.

A confined space is where there is a risk of death or serious injury from hazardous substances or dangerous conditions.

HSS Training offer a range of courses developed for operators of confined space equipment. Each course is specifically designed for delegates who require knowledge of safe working practices in confined spaces.

All courses offer a range of benefits:

• To the individual – gain the knowledge and skills required to work in confined spaces, plus awareness of the risks and the legal obligations involved in such workplaces.
• To the organisation – gain from well-trained employees equipped with skills and knowledge of current legislation for working in confined spaces.

Developed for delegates who need to be able to wear and use escape and working breathing apparatus sets in a hazardous environment, this course is ideal for those who may be required to supervise others in confined spaces and effect self-rescue techniques.

These courses will make use of HSS Hire’s extensive range of equipment and includes practical exercises and written assessment.
