Working in Confined Spaces Certificate

Working in Confined Spaces Certificate Courses

Every year, 25 people die while working in confined spaces in the UK.
 
The majority of victims work in the construction industry. Many of these deaths are preventable. Understanding the unique risks of carrying out work in these environments and insisting on safer working practices is essential to upholding worker health and safety.
 
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the risks associated with working in confined spaces, the obligations of employers and employees under the law and the practical measures that will reduce the risk of injury and death.

 

You Will Learn

  • The criteria that governs what constitutes a “confined space” and why it is important to understand this definition.
  • The hazards that make working in a confined space dangerous, including excessive heat, fumes and low levels of oxygen.
  • Why it is essential to undertake a risk assessment prior to commencing work in confined spaces and the steps you should take when evaluating potential hazards.
  • Best practices for working in confined spaces, including how to ensure adequate lighting, ventilation and systems of communication.

Benefits Of Taking This Course

  • If you employ people who work in confined spaces, this course will help you appreciate and meet your responsibilities under the law.
  • If you are responsible for carrying out health and safety assessments at work, this course will help you take into account the key hazards that could affect employees working in confined spaces.
  • If you work in confined spaces, this course will teach you how to minimise your risk of injury at work.
  • If you are interested in occupational health and safety, particularly in the construction industry and similar fields of work, this course will provide you with essential information on one of the most significant safety hazards in the workplace.

I was very pleased to find a course online which suited both my financial and learning needs.

Really enjoyed the course and would like to take this further. I would recommend this course and found it good value. There is a lack of this type of course available in any colleges in Scotland.

The course has given me motivation to learn and research online about different breads of dogs and their care. I enjoyed the videos attached to the course which were very detailed and easy to follow. I have since purchased the brushes and tools recommended and have had a chance to put into practice what I have learned.

I am looking to start, at some point, a career in the Painting and Decorating industry either working for an employer or myself.

This was a really interesting and surprisingly in-depth course. A good starting point for me to eventually go on to study on a level 1 Construction course at college that will include Painting and Decorating.

I wasn’t sure how good the course was going to be as it was online but I was definitely surprised at how much information was included. Really helpful for me and something I can look back at. Thank you New Skills Academy.

When I first started, I was quite anxious, but after seeing the course layout, it was very simple, effective and most important, engaging.

I especially liked the fact you don't become overwhelmed by the courses quantity of modules, and in the end you have to answer a certain amount of questions within a certain time limit. Every module's layout is very clean, fresh and comprehensive when it comes to its explanation.

If there was any part of the course I was unsure of, I would seek help from the advisors via the online chat and I could say they have been very friendly and helpful.

I'm glad I have taken this course through New Skills ACADEMY and I intend to undertake other courses by them.

I honestly cannot recommend this course highly enough for anyone thinking of pursuing a career in Wedding Planning. The course was very obviously written by industry professionals. Course content was easy to understand, yet thorough and in depth. I also love that this course covered such a diverse range of topics including weddings from different cultures and religions, not just the standard white-dress chapel wedding. I really feel as though this course has given me a bounding head start in the wedding planning industry and I can't wait to get in there and start my own business. Highly recommend - worth every penny :)

This short course about dyslexia is well worth the money. I am a fully qualified dyslexia specialist who teaches full time. I saw this course and thought it would be a good idea to ensure my knowledge and strategies were current. This course is thorough, packed with facts and useful interventions and is easily manageable. It fulfils its brief and would be extremely useful to teachers and TAs working in school who wish to increase their knowledge of SpLD and how to support children effectively. The course reinforces prior knowledge and gives food for thought and discussion. The time indicators for each session are reasonably accurate and allow you to plan your studying and feel that the course is manageable around other commitments. There are some points which feel incomplete or slightly simplified but one can always find further literature and articles to extend one's understanding. I recommend this course.

This course is very comprehensive. It is packed full of very helpful information to aid the Teaching assistant to use his or her skills and knowledge to the full.

If this course is being taken by those who have no knowledge of being a TA, then in my honest opinion they would certainly know about the role when they finish.

I do like the online tests at the end. It does make you think and definitely reinforces what material has just been read. It is also an incentive when seeing a 'grade' to realise how much has been taken in thus encouraging enthusiasm to proceed to the next module.

In all I would say that this course is certainly worth doing, I'm enjoying it and what it has to offer.
