Our confined spaces courses cover NZQA unit standards 18426 Hazards of a confined space and 17599 Plan a confined space entry. As understanding how to correctly use a gas detector is essential for anyone entering a confined space, we include Unit standard 25510 Operate an atmospheric testing device in the course.
We can deliver this training either at our purpose built training sites at Timaru or Napier, or we’ll come to your site and work within your confined spaces.
