This Level 3 Rescue & Recovery from Confined Spaces course is for those who undertake rescue work, as part of their role – and focuses on rescue from confined spaces under non-routine or emergency conditions. On this course, delegates will learn how to remove casualties from confined spaces, safely.
Those who wish to attend this course must have completed a High Risk Confined Spaces course.
Due to the nature of the training course and the emphasis placed on communication, there is only a provision for the assessments to be undertaken in English. Therefore, candidates for this type of training must be able to understand and speak the English language.
