No need to be confined by your lack of training!

No need to be confined by your lack of training!

C&C Training is happy to unveil its brand-new confined Space Facility at its Bury St Edmunds centre. It is the first of its kind in the Anglian region.

The newly-accredited City & Guilds amenity is designed for all those requiring a qualification in low and medium risk confined spaces.

The investment, costing £15,000, is made with two shipping containers and 12 concrete pipes measuring 2.5 metres by 900 metres. Delegates can look forward to a 3 metre drop into the 120 square-metre training area.

Head of Health & Safety Services, Matt St John, said: “It is designed to replicate a real-life scenario without dangers. We have responded to customer demand and we wanted to offer the best possible training experience available.”

It is not only Confined Spaces training that the facility can cater for. In addition, it can incorporate more practical elements in C&C’s Harness, Working at Heights and risk assessment training.

It could also be perfect for anyone working in the waste water industry, as well as the manufacturing and processing environments. Those working with tanks and storage vessels in agriculture could also benefit, along with those who respond to emergency rescue situations.

City & Guilds qualifications, as well as C&C Training’s in-house certificated courses are available, and in-house options will be to the same standard and guidelines as C&G. Up to 10 delegates at a time can take part in the training session in teams of five. Low Risk qualifications will be over one day, while Medium Risk will span two. There will also be a ‘Top-man’ qualification for those wanting specific training in helping colleagues descend and rise from confined spaces.

News has spread fast and C&C Courses for March are already fully booked. The next course is scheduled for 14 & 15 April 2014.
