In high-risk industries, safety isn’t just a priority, it’s a necessity. One area where this is especially true is working in confined spaces. Whether you're in construction, utilities, energy, manufacturing or any sector that requires confined space entry, having the right training is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of your workforce. That’s where REAX comes in.

With a custom built training facility located in Blackpool and the ability to provide Confined Space training on site across the United Kingdom using our mobile training rigg. REAX is the North West's leading provider of Confined Space Training Courses. Our training is specifically designed to meet the highest safety standards, equipping your team with the knowledge and practical experience they need to navigate confined space environments safely and effectively.

Why Confined Space Training Is Essential

Working in confined spaces presents unique hazards that can quickly become life-threatening. Restricted airflow, hazardous materials, and the physical limitations of a confined space make it a high-risk environment for workers. Without proper training, workers face a much higher risk of injury, illness, or even fatality.

The Confined Space Regulations 1997 require that anyone working in, or around confined spaces must be adequately trained to manage the risks involved. At REAX, our Confined Space Training Courses go beyond just compliance; we prepare your team for real-world scenarios, ensuring they are fully capable of assessing hazards, following safe entry procedures, and conducting efficient rescues if necessary.
