The course gives workers and those planning the work a shared theoretical foundation.
About the Confined Spaces course
This course helps managers, supervisors, safety representatives and employees understand the risks associated with working in confined spaces. It also suits welders, mechanics and repair technicians whose duties involve these environments. The course is in English and you study at your own pace.
