What is a Confined Space?
A confined space is an area which is substantially enclosed, though not always entirely. It is one where serious injury can occur from hazardous substances or conditions within the confined space or near to the space. For example, a lack of oxygen.
A number of people are killed or seriously injured in the UK each year in confined spaces. These incidents occur across a wide range of industries. From those involving complicated machinery, through to simple storage solutions. Health and safety training will enable employees working in confined spaces to get the job done safely.
What are the Hazards of Working in a Confined Space?
There are a number of potential hazards when working in confined spaces. These include a lack of oxygen, increased risks from noxious gases, fire, flooding or drowning, and asphyxiation caused by other materials such as dust.
The risk from flooding and fire is greater in a confined space compared to a normal working environment. This is because of how difficult it can be to quickly extract yourself from a confined space.
How Long Do Training Certificates Last?
All confined spaces training certificates last for a period of 3 years. The only exception is the confined spaces rescue course which lasts for 1 year.
