City & Guilds 6160-03 High Risk Confined Spaces

Course details

Course Overview

This Level 2 Award in Working in High Risk Confined Space course (6160-03) equips delegates with the necessary skills and knowledge to work safely as part of a team in high risk confined spaces.  Delegates will learn and understand the procedures and equipment they require to perform their tasks safely while keeping in line with industry standards and regulations.

This course aims to educate delegates with content that reflects the national occupational standard (NOS) for high-risk related confined space environments – NC4 classification. 

A high risk confined space with an NC4 classification is typically a space posing a specific risk to workers.  They cannot eliminate or control the risks to an acceptable level and usually require breathing apparatus to operate the area.

Course Content

In this comprehensive course, delegates will cover preparations to enter and work safely in a high risk environment, enter and exit confined spaces safely, use equipment and tools, follow procedures and deal with emergencies and major incidents effectively.

The practical and theoretical learnings will equip the delegates to:

1. Understand the relevant and current confined space legislation.

2. Recognise and classify a high risk confined space.

3. Produce safe systems of work for entry into medium risk confined spaces, including risk assessment.

4. Recognise diseases and understand the necessary personal hygiene requirements associated with medium risk confined spaces.

5. Know how to correctly and safely gas monitoring equipment.
