Working Together in Health, Safety and the Environment

Confined Spaces Assessments

The established and documented risks associated with confined spaces, need to be combined with a thorough risk management approach. This will ensure effective controls for each element of work in areas which come into the scope of confined spaces. This approach will also assist in compliance with the Confined Spaces at Work Regulations 1997.

Who should attend

Any manager or supervision who have responsibility for the planning, implementation or overseeing of work in confined spaces. This might include, tanks, silos, inspection chambers etc.
