Five Questions to Answer Before Anyone Enters a Confined Space
Most confined-space incidents are not exotic. They happen when a routine job skips one of five questions. Ask them every time, and the permit writes itself.

Confined Space Safety | Training Programme
The rescuer is the second casualty more often than not.
The advanced programme covers safe entry procedures and rescue technique for the people who control an entry — team supervisors, captains, OIMs and managers.
Overview
In a confined space emergency, would-be rescuers account for a significant share of casualties. This advanced programme is for the people who control an entry, and it centres on a rescue plan that works: the method, the equipment checked before entry, and named, trained people present throughout.
Non-entry retrieval with a tripod and winch is used where the space allows it; entry rescue is left to a trained, equipped team where it does not. A plan that has only existed on paper will not work the first time it is needed, so the rescue is rehearsed rather than assumed.
What the programme covers
- Controlling an entry and holding the permit
- Building a rescue plan the team can actually execute
- Non-entry rescue and retrieval systems
- Entry rescue, and the conditions that make it survivable
- Casualty extraction from vertical and horizontal spaces
- Why unplanned rescue attempts kill rescuers
