During the course, delegates will be trained to perform correct procedures before, during and after work in a confined spaces. Delegates will also be briefed on the relevant rules for checking that gas and oxygen levels are suitable for access to a confined spaces and what measures to take in the event of an emergency while working in confined spaces. During the course, delegates will also be trained in the proper preparation, testing and use of breathing apparatus and rescue kits. The course is both theoretical and practical, during which delegates will be required to demonstrate their level of knowledge and understanding of the content of the curriculum.

Course duration - 8 hours

The certificate validity period - 3 years
