City & Guilds Level 2 Award in Working in High Risk Confined Spaces 6160-03

This 3-day course is designed for personnel who are required to enter and work in high-risk confined spaces, where breathing apparatus and robust emergency procedures are essential.

  • A good understanding of spoken and written English is essential
  • All delegates must be clean shaven to ensure an effective seal when wearing breathing apparatus
