WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES CONFINED SPACE TRAINING AT THE FOREFRONT OF


Confined spaces pose a wide variety of potential hazards for workers that are required to enter them; therefore recognising the dangers is vital to prevent serious injuries


Companies need to ensure that their workforce are trained to not only understand what dangers to look out for, but are able to work safely within their environments and know how to quickly respond to potential dangerous situations that may arise.


IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF EMPLOYEES


Falck Safety Services, which currently has 35 training centres across the world, offers a number of Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) courses to significantly improve the safety of any employees that may be at risk when working in confined spaces.


In April 2017, the specialist firm was granted accreditation from ECITB for its Hub Rescue course, one of the first for this course to be delivered across the safety training sector. Designed for emergency rescue and escape training


from wind turbines, the Hub Rescue training is a one-day course delivered from Falck’s Teesside centre using its state-of-the-art 23.7m wind tower.


ADDITIONAL COURSES Falck is also approved by ECITB for additional confined space training courses including, Confined Space Appreciation half day course; Entry Low Risk one day course; Entry Medium Risk, one and a half day course; and Entry High Risk two day course, which are delivered from both the company’s Teesside and Aberdeen training centres.


The Confined Space Appreciation half day course is designed for supervisors and managers to get an understanding of processes involved and the Entry Low Risk course is created for people working in confined spaces that contain no vapour or fume hazard, resulting in less chance of a requirement for self- breathing apparatus.


The medium risk one and a half day course focuses on confined spaces that could pose a hazard resulting in the need to carry small breathing apparatus, with the high risk two day course focusing on the need to wear breathing apparatus.


BENEFITS


The benefits of providing the sector with ECITB approved training courses are that alongside meeting third party verification standards, levy-paying companies may be eligible for funding support through the ECITB levy fund when booking accredited ECITB courses through Falck.


EXPANDING SAFETY TRAINING CAPABILITIES


Colin Leyden, Managing Director of Falck Safety Services UK commented: “We are always looking to enhance and expand our wind safety training capabilities both in the UK and globally. Being one of the first companies to deliver ECITB Hub Rescue course, marks a first for this course across the safety training sector and demonstrates our commitment to developing our offer in the wind energy sector, strengthening our positioning as a leading global safety training provider.”
