At Industry Training Services, we offer a variety of confined spaces training depending on the level of risk, covering every potential hazard. We have four different confined space practical areas with different offerings/configurations that provide practical training that’s specific to your needs. We understand it can be confusing figuring out which type of confined spaces training it is that you need, so we have covered each type of training in this blog so that you can better understand which training is the right one for you. Although we offer the following structured, accredited confined spaces training courses, we also offer bespoke courses, not only for those in the construction industry- we have also administered tailored confined spaces training for businesses such as Moy Park, Dunbia, Aurivo, Lac Patrick, and Ready Egg. Additionally, we offer these specialised courses remotely, across the island of Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Meath, etc) to train employees onsite.
“Good location, great facilities & equipment, all in great working condition. There was a great practical side to this course (confined spaces) with realistic situations that are relevant to our workplace. Really enjoyed the new shipping container exercise, a great addition to the training.”
The Dunbia Team
Confined spaces are a common hazard in the construction industry. Individuals entering these zones must be appropriately trained according to the level of risk, as required by law. Dangerous gases and toxic chemicals, as well as a lack of oxygen, are common risks. Every year, there are a number of fatalities and serious wounds as a result of confined spaces therefore It is critical to raise awareness and receive practical training.
So, what types of confined spaces training do we offer?
Confined Spaces, Safe Entry, Escape Breathing Apparatus, and Self Rescue
Duration: 1 Day
This confined spaces, safe entry, escape breathing apparatus and self-rescue course is primarily for practical users that are required to enter locations that are considerably confined and where the working environment is potentially dangerous.
This course aims to ensure that delegates entering such settings are aware of the legal requirements, the necessity of risk assessments, and safe work methods, as well as how to put these into practice. This includes knowing how to utilise the right tools to allow for safe access upon entry.
