Training in Working and Rescue in Confined Spaces
Confidence and control when every second counts.
Working in confined spaces such as tanks, silos or shafts involves hidden and life-threatening risks: from oxygen deficiency and gas poisoning to limited escape routes. Standard safety instructions are not enough here. Only through intensive, realistic training can you ensure that your staff enter the space safely, manage the risks and respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.
These training courses are not a mere formality; they are essential preparation that saves lives and ensures operational safety.
- Demonstrable compliance: Meet the strict requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act for entering and working in confined spaces
- Realistic scenarios: Participants practise using rescue equipment, gas detection and respiratory protection in our specialised training facility.
- Recognised certification: Upon successful completion, each participant receives a digital certificate as proof of competence.
- Comprehensive approach: The training ties in seamlessly with our services for the supply and inspection of your PPE and rescue equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is an intensive full-day training course (8 hours), in which theory and practice are constantly intertwined.
Yes, participants should be prepared for physical exertion. Practising rescue scenarios, wearing respiratory protection and working in simulated confined spaces requires a good level of fitness.
A manhole guard (also known as an ‘external guard’) monitors the area and raises the alarm, but does not enter the space themselves. This training goes a step further: it trains people to safely enter the space themselves and carry out rescue operations.
During the training, participants practise using a full kit, including a fall arrest harness, gas detector, self-contained breathing apparatus, helmet and various rescue equipment such as tripods and winches.
