Confined Space Entry: High Risk - Refresher (CSC03R)
This course is about refreshing and reassessing the previously attained knowledge of working in confined space environments which have non-standard entries and which, in consequence, makes rescue difficult. It is likely that a hazard will be present at some time during the entry.
Entry may involve complex entry procedures and there will be work-specific controls and rescue arrangements. It will entail the use of self-contained open-circuit breathing apparatus, specialist detection equipment and resuscitation equipment.
It will require the presence of personnel who have designated responsibilities for controlling entry and dealing with emergencies. If your previous certification expired more than seven months prior to the date of the requalification course, you must re-take the original training instead of the requalification course.
