Working in Confined Spaces

Overview

Working in Confined Spaces is a comprehensive course for any individual who has to work in a restricted space. When working in such spaces there are proper protocols and procedures that must be followed and implemented. What is a confined space?  And what hazards can occur? Confined spaces are mostly tanks, pits, tunnels, pipes, boilers and sewers. If your work requires you to get into a confined space, it is important that you learn practical safety measures, safe operating procedures and rescue protocols.
