Confined Space Entry Refresher

Why Choose This Course

This course has been designed to reduce the amount of time previously educated and skilled participants spend in a classroom, whilst offering the ability to reissue nationally recognised confined space competencies in one day.

Building on participants’ previously attained competencies, FSA will confirm retention of knowledge and skills on hazard identifications, risk assessments and work permits for confined space operations and how to operate various confined space safety equipment through minimal theory and lots of practical-based learning and activities.
