Medium risk confined spaces such as sewers, tanks, chambers and vessels demand a level of preparation that goes well beyond common sense, and the City & Guilds Confined Space Medium Risk (6160-09) Course builds exactly that. Delegates learn to select, use and maintain confined space equipment correctly, including emergency escape breathing apparatus, so entering and working in these environments becomes a controlled, competent process rather than a gamble.
Because confined space risk sits on a spectrum, delegates whose work also involves simpler or more complex environments should look at the City & Guilds Confined Space Low Risk (6160-01) Course or the City & Guilds Confined Space High Risk (6160-03) Course, since each is built around a distinct level of complexity and equipment use.
Given how central atmosphere monitoring is to safe entry, this course pairs naturally with the Online EUSR SHEA Gas Course (Remote Learning) for delegates wanting a deeper technical grounding in gas industry safety. Anyone whose confined space work also involves working at height should keep Working at Height Training in mind too, while general PPE Awareness Training complements the specialist equipment covered on this course well.
Delegates must be at least 18 years old, physically fit and in good general health, and are asked to consider a range of health factors before booking. Anyone using escape or working breathing apparatus with a close-fitting face mask must be clean shaven where the mask seals, and all delegates must weigh no more than 136 kg, the maximum safe working limit for the equipment used on the course.
