Confined Spaces

By outsourcing to our team, you efficiently transfer that risk away from your own people, as well as reducing in-house costs like training, insurance and equipment.

We ensure your business has proper protection against the challenges and specified risks that are presented in confined spaces, including:

• Extreme temperatures
• Low levels of oxygen
• Toxic/explosive gases
• Flooding and inundation by free-flowing solids

From supervision to surveys and even rescue, our specialist services keep you, your people and your business safe via:

• Expert confined space safety training
• Managed services
• Equipment for safety and rescue when working in confined spaces
• Consultancy offering

Confined spaces present a challenging environment, which can be often misunderstood. As well as poor ventilation and difficult access, these environments can mean exposure to contaminants, toxic gases, free-flowing solids and liquids and other high-risk environmental factors that are either inherent within the confined space environment or introduced as a consequence of the task being undertaken. It's therefore vital that your people are properly prepared for these conditions - which is where our expert-level confined space training comes in.

Our confined space training expertise covers:

• Confined space management
• Awareness training
• Water UK National Confined space classification training: Low, medium and high-risk
• Rescue training

As with all our safety training, we build a tailored approach around your needs, to deliver the most convenient solution for your business. Courses can be conducted in the classroom, on-site, via e-learning/virtual reality, or as part of our mobile confined space training unit proposition.
