On completion of this unit, the learner will have the knowledge and be equipped with the application skills in basic principles in working within/around confined space. This includes:
• Use of appropriate gas testing equipment to ascertain that the confined space atmosphere is safe for entry and work.
• Recognise the limitation of the test equipment used; calibrate the equipment and use it to obtain representative results for the assessment of confined space for safe entry and work.
• Monitoring the atmospheric conditions to ensure that it is safe for entry and work.
