Confined Space Training Courses from UTN Training

Working in confined spaces can be high risk. Several people are killed or seriously injured in the UK each year when working in confined spaces. Unfortunately, those that try to rescue them are often also at risk due to poor training.

This programme is designed for managers, supervisors and operatives who may be required to make an emergency excavation from a confined space using escape breathing apparatus.

Training courses under this category relate to the specific Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, which regulate work within confined spaces, associated legislation and ACOP.
