High Risk Confined Spaces Training

Accredited High Risk Confined Spaces Training in South Wales and On Site

Work in high risk confined spaces involves serious and potentially fatal hazards. These environments may contain toxic atmospheres, oxygen deficiency, flammable gases, or conditions that require emergency rescue capability. For this reason, High Risk Confined Spaces Training is essential to ensure workers understand the risks and apply strict control measures.

At Evolution Safety Solutions, we deliver High Risk Confined Spaces Training at our training centre in Abercynon, South Wales, and on client sites across the UK. Our course is EUIAS accredited, registered on the EUSR, and aligned with the Energy and Environmental Awards framework.

High Risk Confined Spaces Training – Course Overview

This course covers:

• Legal duties under the Confined Spaces Regulations

• Detailed risk assessment principles

• Atmospheric monitoring and gas detection

• Breathing apparatus awareness

• Permit-to-work systems

• Emergency procedures and rescue planning

• Supervised practical entry exercises

• Certification and EUSR registration

As a result, delegates gain the competence required to operate safely in high-risk environments.

What Is a High Risk Confined Space?

A high risk confined space presents significant hazards that could result in serious injury or death if controls fail. For example, such environments may include:

• Oxygen-deficient atmospheres

• Toxic gas build-up

• Flammable or explosive conditions

• Engulfment hazards

• Complex rescue requirements

Because these conditions can deteriorate rapidly, only trained and competent personnel should enter.

Legal Requirements for High Risk Confined Space Work

Under the Confined Spaces Regulations, employers must avoid entry wherever possible. However, if entry is necessary, employers must:

• Conduct a suitable and sufficient risk assessment

• Implement a safe system of work

• Provide suitable information and instruction

• Establish emergency and rescue arrangements

Therefore, structured High Risk Confined Spaces Training forms a key part of legal compliance.
