Why Confined Space Training Matters

Confined spaces—such as sewers, tanks, culverts and manholes—pose serious risks that aren’t always visible. From oxygen deficiency and toxic gases to restricted exits and engulfment hazards, the dangers can be life-threatening without proper training. That’s why employers must ensure all workers entering these areas are competent, equipped, and certified.

Our confined space training in Bristol is designed to meet real-world needs, combining theory with practical exercises using the latest safety equipment and simulation rigs.
