Why take this course?

Our Confined Space Entry Training provides essential knowledge and hands-on experience for anyone required to work in or around confined spaces. Using a blend of theory and practical exercises, participants will learn how to identify hazards, assess risks and correctly use personal protective equipment (PPE). The course also covers safe entry procedures, atmospheric testing and emergency preparedness to ensure every entry is planned, controlled and compliant.

Did the 5 day forklift training course and thought it was really good from start to finish. John was a great instructor, explained everything clearly and got the balance between theory and practical spot on. The practical side was really well set up too, with plenty of different exercises and some good challenging setups like chicanes and tighter manoeuvres, so you were actually learning how to control the forklift properly rather than just going through the motions. By the end of the week I felt confident that I could operate a forklift safely and properly. Would definitely recommend Rizon Training and John to anyone looking to do their forklift training.

Had a training session with a trainer (Ian) and it was a great experience. Very knowledgeable, professional, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. The session was engaging and well-structured, and it really helped build my confidence. The trainer created a positive and supportive environment throughout. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for high-quality training.

Why this course is important

Scenarios for Use

  • Cleaning, inspecting, or maintaining tanks, silos or vessels

  • Entering fermentation tanks and other enclosed areas in distilleries

  • Working below ground in drainage systems, tunnels or utility chambers

  • Roles in construction, industrial, or manufacturing sectors involving confined space work

The Risk We Address

Confined spaces are among the most hazardous work environments, with dangers such as toxic gases, oxygen depletion, and restricted escape routes. In distilleries, the presence of flammable vapours and enclosed fermentation areas adds extra risk. This course teaches participants to recognise, assess, and control these hazards to keep themselves and others safe.

Skills and Knowledge Gained

Participants will develop the competence to identify and manage hazards, conduct atmospheric testing, and use safety equipment such as gas monitors and PPE correctly. Hands-on exercises reinforce safe entry practices and emergency responses, ensuring delegates are confident and compliant when working in confined spaces.

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.
