The entrance into a confined space can involve a several amount of risks demanding, this way, that the work to be carried out should be previously planned.
In this way
FALL SAFE® projected the training course: Access to Confined spaces with the purpose of giving to its attendants the knowledge to enjoy a safe work when there is the need and responsibility for the execution of work to be carried out in a confined space.
At the end of this training course the attendants should be capable of identifying a confined space and acknowledge, evaluate and control the existing risks, the correct functioning of the needed equipment and the procedure and usage of the entry permit.
