Course Overview

Almost every serious incident involving confined space rescue teams was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The cost of an incident involving rescue teams lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the practice within occupational health and safety before they become incidents. The programme suits teams tackling confined space rescue teams together as readily as individuals attending alone. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for this aspect of occupational health and safety as they go. What blocks progress on rescue teams is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place confined space rescue teams among the areas with the widest performance spread. It establishes a shared vocabulary for rescue teams so that teams can disagree productively about it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the occupational health and safety discipline survives a hostile question.
