Confined Space Rescue and Recovery of a Casualty
A staggering number of workers are killed or seriously injured every year in confined spaces in the UK due to a lack of knowledge of confined space environments and the equipment used within them.

The training is delivered in AIS Training's state-of-the-art confined space structure which simulates a real-life enclosure.
