Creating safer working environments for all.

What are the Water UK National Confined Spaces Competency Standards?

Published in January 2004, these standards apply to all people working in or at confined spaces on behalf of water companies in the UK. They were developed at the request of the Health and Safety Executive, to standardise requirements and procedures and to simplify the method of demonstrating staff competence. At the heart of the Water UK Guidelines is the identification of four national classifications of Confined Spaces Working.

Based upon assessed risks, nationally agreed standards of competence have been written and endorsed by the whole industry.

How can Develop Training help?

Develop training and assessment events and facilities have been developed specifically to meet the requirements of the Water UK Confined Spaces standards. The modules are designed to enable contractors working for UK water companies to ensure their staff are qualified under the new four-level classification systems for confined space entries.

The courses listed in our Training Brochure cover the most common situations covered by these comprehensive new standards. Other courses are available to deal with more unusual situations.

Delegates who successfully complete a written or oral test of underpinning knowledge and practical assessments in the key skills areas as individuals and as members of a working team will be awarded a City & Guilds of London Institute Certificate of Post Training Competence. In addition to our open courses, bespoke events and facilities can be arranged.
