The post Confined Space Entry (Refresher) Course appeared first on Excel Home.

A number of people are killed or seriously injured  in confined spaces each year in the UK because they do not have the proper safety training. This happens in a wide range of industries, from those involving complex plant to simple storage vessels. Unfortunately those losing their lives include not only people working in the confined space but also those who try to rescue them without prior training and using incorrect equipment.

A confined space can be any space of an enclosed nature where there is a risk of death or serious injury from hazardous substances or dangerous conditions (eg lack of oxygen).

Some confined spaces are fairly easy to identify, eg enclosures with limited

• openings:
• storage tanks;
• silos;
• reaction vessels;
• enclosed drains;
• sewers.

Others may be less obvious, but can be equally dangerous, for example:

• open-topped chambers;
• vats;
• combustion chambers in furnaces etc;
• ductwork;
• unventilated or poorly ventilated rooms.

This course is for personnel that have never received any formal confined space training. It will enable delegates to competently enter, work in and exit from confined space areas.
