CS04: 1 Day Medium Risk Confined Space Entrant & Entry Controller Refresher Course - Open Course

This one day classroom and practical based course is designed to provide 7 hours of classroom and practical instruction with assessment to remind delegates of the requirements of the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L101 - Safe work in confined spaces (Confined Spaces Regulations 1997) and the principles laid down in the National Occupational Standards for Working in medium risk confined spaces.

On completion of the course, delegates will have been assessed on the requisite underpinning knowledge and skills required to demonstrate continued competence to enter or control entry into medium risk confined spaces where access into the space will require the use of gas monitoring and the carrying of Escape Breathing Apparatus (EBA). It will involve the presence of one or more
people who have designated responsibilities for controlling the entry into the confined space which may involve a vertical entry using a ladder and fall arrest/recovery winch or man-riding winch and harness or horizontal entry, such as walking or climbing into the confined space or working away from the bottom of a vertical entry, with limited use of rescue lines.
