Confined Space Attendant
Download Brochure

Confined spaces can be deadly. In 1997, the regulations were introduced in order to control industry and the self-employed.

It is now the law that if you are involved with entering, controlling or supervising people involved with confined space work you must have received training. Failure to comply with the 1997 Confined Space regulations can result in prosecution. People are killed or seriously injured in confined spaces every year all over the world. This includes a large number of people trying to rescue others without sufficient equipment or training.
