The course described here does not cover the following applications:
- handling of transportable silos;
- certification of technical qualification for gas detection;
- certification of use of respiratory protection;
- certification of correct use of personal protective equipment against falls from a height.
If required, we can also create a risk assessment in addition to your rescue concept, please refer to the module “Rescue Concept & Risk Analysis”. The training for entering & working in confined spaces is only an extension for the correct use of personal protective equipment against falls from a height. It covers only the specific equipment for working and rescue from confined spaces
CERTIFICATE AND VALIDITY PERIOD
- Every participant that has successfully completed the course will be given a certificate.
- The certificate is valid for 1 year.
- Annual Re-Assessment is necessary.
- The certificate will be issued after the training.
