Emergency Rescue and Recovery of Casualties from Confined Spaces

Confined Space Rescue Course – Emergency Rescue & Casualty Recovery Training (UK)

Learn practical skills to safely rescue people from confined spaces. No jargon – just real-life training.

Ever stood staring into a tiny space and thought, “What if something awful goes wrong down there?” You’re not on your own. Enclosed spaces, including tanks, sewers, silos or cramped utility areas, are more dangerous than most realize. And in the UK alone, there are still hundreds of accidents annually. Yes, enclosed spaces are deadly.

At Construction and Plant Training Services, we don’t just talk about safety – we teach it. On our Confined Spaces Rescue and Casualty Recovery course, you’ll learn exactly what to do if a colleague collapses or becomes trapped. You won’t find endless PowerPoint slides here – just practical training and honest advice from rescue experts who’ve genuinely “been there, done that.”

Who is this course really for?

If you’re working in enclosed spaces – safety officer, engineer, or supervisor – you must know how to react quickly and safely in the case of emergencies. Remember: the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 are UK law, so this course is not a courtesy.
