Confined Space Entry: Medium Risk & Entry Controller (CSC09)

This course is about working in confined space environments where there is a reasonably foreseeable chance that a specified risk may be present. It will require the use of escape breathing apparatus. It will involve the presence of one of more people, positioned outside of the confined space, who have designated responsibilities for controlling the entry and dealing with emergencies. This course can be conducted on your site using our Mobile Training Unit.

A 1-day re-assessment course (CSC09R) is available for those previously completed a 2-day CSC09 course or equivalent.
