£20.00 (Including VAT)
SuperSkills Working In Confined Spaces Training covers the legislation associated with working in confined spaces.
What constitutes a confined space, the potential hazards, safe operating procedures, and emergency procedures and rescue.
At the end of this course you’ll be able to demonstrate your understanding of the control measures to be followed when working in, or near to, confined spaces as detailed in a safe working procedure
The primary piece of health and safety legislation in the UK is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which sets out general duties for employers and employees to ensure health and safety in the workplace.
This is supplemented by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999: These regulations require employers to carry out risk assessments and put in place measures to control risks, including those associated with working in confined spaces.
The main legislation covering working in confined spaces in the UK is the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. These regulations set out the legal requirements for employers and workers to ensure safe working practices when entering confined spaces.
It’s important to note that the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 are supported by guidance from the Health and Safety Executive.
This guidance provides further details on how to comply with the regulations and how to work safely in confined spaces.
By the end of the working in confined spaces course, you will be able to:
- Recognise the key legislation and its application to working in a confined space
- Understand the dangers of working in a confined space and identify the hazards involved
- Define and state the safety procedures that can use to reduce the risk associated
- Have an awareness of the communication methods needed and the emergency procedures that would need to be followed
- Understand the importance of the paperwork involved to meet legal obligations
The course is split into modules:
- The Law
- Confined Space and the Dangers?
- Safe Procedures
- Communication, Emergencies and Paperwork
- Final Assessment
Each module is rounded off with several multiple-choice questions, candidates are required to get 70% on these tests to pass the course.
SuperSkills online Asbestos Awareness Training for Architects & Designers is approved by the organisation of Institute Of Occupational Safety & Health and the International Institute of Risk & Safety Management it can be counted as part of staff Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
Important note: This is an awareness course only, designed for people who need to know about the hazards and risks of confined space working but are not required to enter a confined space.
A good example would be supervisory or management staff, responsible for overseeing the work of junior colleagues, so they know the regulatory framework that needs to be complied with.
If you are required to perform any work activity in, or in the proximity of, a confined space then you will also need to have an ‘approved’ standard of practical training at the ‘appropriate’ level.
