Confined Space Entry: Low Risk (CSC01)
Working in confined spaces exposes an individual to a range of potential hazards, some of which may threaten injury and, in some cases, may possibly lead to death.
This course is about entering and working in low risk environments with adequate natural or mechanical ventilation. The access appears simple and unobstructed, will have no likely risk of flooding and will have low likelihood of reasonably foreseeable risk during entry or while working.
Low risk confined spaces could be associated with lone working requiring the application of appropriate procedures.
