Confined Space Awareness (DEFWHS013)

Confined Space Awareness (DEFWHS013) gives learners the critical knowledge needed to effectively control entry and exit (egress) from confined spaces. Even if you’re not required to physically enter confined spaces, this course ensures you have a solid grasp of the legal requirements and safety procedures necessary for managing these environments. You’ll learn how to assess and control risks, implement safety plans, and comply with industry regulations.

This course is perfect for those looking to enhance their safety knowledge and skills, ensuring that confined spaces are accessed safely and responsibly. By focusing on planning, hazard control, and regulatory compliance, you’ll be prepared to safeguard not only yourself but your entire team.

Join us to stay ahead of safety protocols and become an invaluable asset in environments where confined spaces are present!
