Confined Space Entry Training: Medium Risk - City & Guilds 6160-09 Accredited - RSTC-CS-MED

This confined space entry training course is designed for workers who must enter medium risk confined spaces where there is a realistic risk of hazardous atmospheres and escape breathing apparatus may be required.

The course is accredited by City & Guilds and develops competence in safe entry procedures, atmospheric monitoring, rescue arrangements and the use of specialist equipment.
