On average work in Confined Spaces kills 15 people every year in the UK across a wide range of industries, from those involving complex plants through to simple storage vessels. In addition, a number of people are seriously injured. Those killed include not only people working in confined spaces but also those who try to rescue them without proper training equipment. By the end of the course, delegates will know about working in confined spaces. It will also teach delegates how to escape the breathing-air apparatus and make a safe exit.
