Long Term Evaluation
On average over fifteen people are killed every year in the UK in confined spaces. In addition many more
are critically injured. Those killed not only include workers, but those trying to rescue them. At the end of
this course the delegates will be more than aware of the dangers associated with confined space working.
The long term evaluation should show a much safer working procedure and promote a more safety
conscious workforce.
This awareness certification is valid for 3 years and requires a refresher and update course within this
time. It is strongly advised that delegates refresh annually, which can be done in house or at one of our
own venues.
