Course Content Confined Space means any place, including any vessel, tank, container, pit, bund, trench, pipe, sewer, flue, compartment, cellar or other similar space which, by virtue of its enclosed nature creates conditions which give rise to a likelihood of accident, harm or injury of such a nature as to require emergency action.

Confined spaces are significantly more hazardous than normal workplaces. The hazards involved may not be unique to confined spaces, but are always exacerbated by the enclosed nature of the confined space. The resulting injuries are potentially fatal. Furthermore there is a propensity for multiple casualties due to the insidious nature of the hazards.

FETAC Code 6S0242: Manual Handling Instruction
Subjects Taught Unit 1 Legislative requirements and health benefit
Unit 2 Anatomy and back care
Unit 3 Ergonomic principles and risk assessment
Unit 4 Manual handling principles and techniques
Unit 5 Planning and design of manual handling training programmes
Unit 6 Delivery of manual handling training
Duration 5 days (3 days week 1, 2 days week 2)
Comment The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2007 require that all companies: (1) Carry out a manual handling risk assessment; (2) take appropriate steps to avoid or reduce manual handling risks; and (3) provide manual handling training to relevant staff.

But bringing in external consultants to carry our risk assessments and to provide training can be expensive and time-consuming. The solution? Send a select few on a manual handling instructor course and let them become instructors themselves. For a small outlay, you could save vast amounts of money by getting your own staff to train new members of the team. Not only will you benefit from the cost savings, but you will reap the benefits from your newly skilled staff who will appreciate the investment in them.
