Confined Space Entry: Medium Risk - Refresher (CSC09R)

This course is about refreshing and reassessing the previously attained knowledge of working in confined space environments where there is a medium risk that a specified hazard may be present. It will require the use of escape breathing apparatus. It will involve the presence of one of more people, positioned outside of the confined space, who have designated responsibilities for controlling the entry and dealing with emergencies.

This course can be conducted on your site using our Mobile Training Unit.

Important: Candidates are only eligible for refresher course for a maximum of 6 months after expiration of prior certification.
