Confined Space Courses

Stay Safe in Confined Spaces

Confined space work presents unique hazards that can quickly become life-threatening if not properly managed. From toxic atmospheres and limited ventilation to restricted access and the risk of entrapment, these environments demand specialised awareness and strict safety protocols.

From our state-of-the-art training facility and mobile training unit Rizon offers a range of OPITO accredited, industry-standard courses that give workforces the essential knowledge, hands-on skills, and confidence needed to work safely in confined spaces.

They get to know our business inside out. What I find with IED because of that long-term partnership is they're very quick and succinct at giving you a solution to a challenge you possibly didn't even know you had.

We can be confident that every step of the way, we are providing our team with the required skills and competency to safely carry out their role.
HSEQ Supervisor, Sea-Cargo
We've found a partner who really delivers training that is bespoke to us. They take the time to learn the team and learn the specific challenges we have on site and are able to tailor training to match them.
Facility Manager, MVV Environment
They make the sessions engaging and easy for our team to connect with. Every session is relevant and everyone leaves feeling more confident and capable.

Some interesting pints to build on, particularly delegation, leadership styles and emotional intelligence. Good material and activities. Clear, concise and well delivered. Great course - thanks.
A Learner, TechnipFMC
Trainer was very engaging and kept everyone alert by moving the focus. Content was clearly explained and his real world examples and experience assisted extremely well in the course
A Learner, Sulmara
The management development programme was insightful and practical. It strengthened my leadership skills, especially in decision-making and team communication. The case studies and peer discussions were particularly valuable. I feel more confident managing complex situations and leading with clarity. Highly recommended for emerging leaders.
Kettle Produce
Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 days covering all topics. Trainer was fantastic with his knowledge and delivery. The group sessions and exercises were my particular favourite part of the course.
A Learner, Kettle Produce
We wanted our supervisors, wherever they are located, to be able to join a leadership development programme that would leave them motivated, engaged and enthusiastic about their role and working with Fugro. The feedback from supervisors has been superb, with people asking to join the programme, in such high numbers that sometimes we have had to find ways to make sure everyone was accommodated.
Global Leadership & Business Programme Manager, Fugro
We find them very flexible; when we need bespoke programmes delivered, they always find a way to make it happen.
John Clark Motor Group
The training has been of a particularly high standard and all our successful IOSH students have enjoyed the style, pace and professionalism that IED provides.
Binn Group
No project is too big or small for them, and they always provide a first-class service.
