Course Description
COMING SOON!
This course is designed for personnel across the energy sector who require a theoretical understanding and awareness of Confined Spaces*, associated hazards and guidance.
*Confined Space Definition:
Any space of an enclosed nature where there is a risk of death or serious injury from hazardous substances or dangerous conditions within the space or nearby.
A space that is large enough and so configured that a person can bodily enter and perform assigned work and has limited or restricted means for entry or exit and is not designed for continuous human occupancy.
Note: Where regional legislative differences occur, the OPITO course will cover the local legislative definition. The course currently covers definitions for the United Kingdom, India and Qatar.
