A half-day in-company course that gives staff the awareness they need before going near a confined space, or refreshes the knowledge of those already trained. Built around the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997.
Confined space awareness training gives staff a clear understanding of what a confined space is, the dangers it holds, and the safe system of work needed before anyone enters one. KeyOstas delivers it as a half-day course, used either as stand-alone awareness or as a refresher for those who hold a full confined space qualification.
It is for staff who need awareness of confined space risk, and for those due a refresher.
