Description
Employees and contractors who work in confined spaces are often at great risk of injury and long-lasting ailments. Therefore it is the obligation of every employer and employee to understand the dangers that exist to the human body in a confined space, and how to deal with the issues they may encounter.
This Working in Confined Spaces course is designed for employees and employers, who are part of a workforce that regularly needs to access and work in cramped or small areas. It documents the UK legislation and laws that protect workers and the way in which the risks can be assessed mitigated. It also covers the many ways you can check for dangers in the air and environment, and what the appropriate protective measures will be.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a good understanding of what a confined space actually is, and the dangers that exist there. You’ll know what you need to do if you or your workers are at risk, and who to contact in an emergency.
