Level 2 Award in Working in High Risk Confined Spaces

Level 2 Award in Working in High Risk Confined Spaces

This advanced, practical course equips operatives with the essential skills and nationally recognized qualification needed to work safely in a High Risk Confined Space (NC4).

It is designed for personnel who are required to enter areas where there is a specified, high-level risk of a hazard (e.g., gas, poor air quality, or flooding) and must use Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) to enter and perform rescue procedures.

What We Cover

We ensure comprehensive technical training, intensely focusing on rescue readiness and safe entry using independent air supply.

• Breathing Apparatus (BA) Proficiency: Operatives master pre-use checks, safe use, donning, doffing, and multiple wears of the SCBA/BA set.
• Emergency Procedures: Operatives practice emergency extraction, rescue communications, and promptly responding to hazards.
• Rescue and Recovery: Operatives learn the safe and correct use of harnesses, tripods, winches, and davit arms to recover a fallen team member.
• Safe Systems of Work: Operatives master the Confined Spaces Regulations, perform risk assessments, create method statements, and issue Permit-to-Work procedures.

Assessment & Certification

The assessment requires our operatives to prove both practical skill and theoretical knowledge.

• Written Test: The operative passes a theoretical, short-answer question paper.
• Practical Assessment: The operative completes an observation of BA entry, a live rescue simulation, emergency response drills, and carrying out work tasks in a high-risk scenario.

Upon successfully completing the course, the operative receives the Level 2 Award in Working in High Risk Confined Spaces and can then apply to register with the Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR).
