ECITB High Risk Confined Space

Aims & Objectives

This course is designed for workers who operate as part of a team within a high risk confined space. A high risk confined space exists where there is a non-standard entry involving complex operations which introduce additional risks and require specific control and rescue arrangements. A presence of any specified risk that cannot be controlled or removed. Requires the wearing of full duration breathing apparatus, or a complex entry, making rescue difficult.

The aim of this unit is to assess learners against the skills and knowledge required by a worker operating in a high risk confined space environment.

The assessment covers the following topics:

• Definitions of confined space entry

• National Classifications of confined spaces

• Potential hazards & statistics

• Gas Monitors

• Risk Assessments, Permit to Work & Point of Work

• Medical Requirements for entry into confined spaces

• Communications

• Ventilation
