Aimed At

This course is for authorised persons, managers, supervisors or other persons who will have responsibilities for personnel working in confined spaces. It will give them the background knowledge to be able to supervise or manage such operations and to ensure that personnel involved have appropriate levels of training. It will help them to appreciate the hazards and risks of confined space working and to ensure that the appropriate resources are available and being correctly used. The individual’s role extends to interpretation, supervision, coordination and accountability for the team and the work being undertaken in the confined space during both planned work and emergency situations. Successful completion of this course would form part of the requirement to authorise confined space entries.
