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

This City & Guilds accredited course is designed for individuals working in medium risk confined space environments where there is a reasonably foreseeable chance that a specified risk may be present. The course teaches the essential procedures for working in confined spaces safely, ensuring that participants are fully prepared to work safely in medium risk confined spaces.
