It also includes the rescue of confined space.
Successful participants will be able to work Safely at the Confined Space area with minimal supervision by identifying the requirements of the job, accessing and installing the required equipment, and cleaning up the work area.
Confined space safety is one of the main objective and also to protect those who’s work is related to confined space, especially when hazardous elements are involved in the workplace. Therefore, it is crucial to identify confined space hazards in the workplace. Additionally, ability to conduct confined space risk assessment is a must as well, to identify the risk involved, safety measures taken and confined space procedure.
Ensure all your employees have suitable PPE to undertake the work.
