Low Risk – 1 Day  

The City & Guilds Low risk Confined space course provides the knowledge and skills to safely work in low risk confined spaces, including those associated with lone working where the application of proper procedures is required. Low risk confined space environments often have entries no deeper than three meters with an unobstructed vertical lift and a straight ladder into a dark chamber.

Delegates will gain practical experience of using fall arrest and retrieval equipment. Tasks will also include appropriate ladder-climbing techniques which will allow for safe access and egress into a confined space.

By the end of this course, you will have an understanding of:

• What confined spaces are and when confined spaces can be created by work activities.
• The main hazards and risks resulting from working in confined spaces.
• The legal responsibilities of employers and others in control of work in confined spaces, as well as a knowledge of the duties placed on other individuals.
• How to carry out a risk assessment for work undertaken in a confined space.
• How to implement, supervise and monitor control measures to control the risks associated with work in confined spaces.
