Working in confined spaces presents serious hazards: toxic atmospheres, limited oxygen, risk of entrapment, and restricted access for rescue. Whether you’re entering a tank, tunnel, sewer, duct, or silo — training isn’t just useful, it’s legally required.
At Ireland Safety Training, we offer a fully online Confined Space Awareness Course, designed to help workers and employers across Ireland and the UK comply with regulations, prevent accidents, and save lives.
A confined space is any area that:
Is substantially enclosed
Has limited access or egress
Could pose a risk of serious injury or death due to hazardous substances or conditions
Examples include:
Underground tunnels
Drainage systems
Tanks and vessels
Storage silos
Boiler rooms
Crawl spaces and shafts
Confined spaces may contain toxic gases, flammable vapours, lack of oxygen, or physical hazards.
You are legally required to train workers before they enter confined spaces under:
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Confined Spaces) Regulations 2001 (Ireland)
Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 (UK)
Training must cover:
Hazard identification
Emergency procedures
Permit-to-work systems
PPE and monitoring equipment
Failure to comply can result in:
Fines and regulatory shutdowns
Liability for injuries or fatalities
Prosecution for serious safety breaches
Confined space work has one of the highest fatality rates in industry. Deaths are often preventable with proper training and awareness.
Online training empowers workers to:
Recognise when a space is dangerous
Follow proper entry procedures
Use gas monitors, ventilation, and PPE correctly
Know what to do if something goes wrong
Our CPD-accredited course covers:
Legal duties of employers and workers
Identifying confined spaces and potential hazards
Atmospheric testing and gas monitoring
Entry permits and risk assessments
PPE and respiratory protective equipment (RPE)
Communication and rescue procedures
Ventilation and control systems
Emergency scenarios and planning
Practical examples and case studies
The course includes videos, images, downloadable materials, and a final quiz.
