Confined Space Training

Technical Rescue International’s provision of training for working in confined spaces has been developed from the longstanding experience gained by TRI Instructors. The confined space programme is progressive and includes courses for most confined space sectors. The Instructors that deliver the courses are all extremely experienced in a number of confined space Sectors and have been delivering training for many years. All Instructors are current/operational in their specific sector of work.
