Confined Space Entry

A large proportion of our works are carried out on COMAH sites and therefore safety is at the forefront of our minds when planning and executing a project. For works taking place in confined spaces, we employ fully trained and experienced personnel with the necessary safety passports and confined space entry certificates. This includes confined space safety standby or "holewatch", and an experienced emergency rescue team who are certified in high risk confined space rescue using breathing apparatus.

Our emergency rescue plans are fully task and site specific and bespoke to each contract. They go through an internal approvals process and are regularly drilled on site using weighted dummies for the purpose of continuous improvement and to ensure all personnel involved on the project are fully familiar with emergency procedures.

We are used to confined spaces coming in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with numerous obstacles and challenges. Before commencing work, a qualified member of our management team will attend site to conduct a survey and liaise with the customer to provide a basis on which the emergency rescue plan will be formulated. Depending on the nature of the confined space, this could be be horizontal extraction or vertical extraction, including extraction from height e.g. from a scaffold within a confined space. Rescue procedures may include escape sets, BA, tripods, winches, gas monitors, ropes, radios. All equipment is fully serviced and calibrated and inspected daily by a dedicated, competent person on site. As part of our safe working practices, weekly site HSQE inspections are carried out by members of our senior management team and any observations are recorded and actions set, followed up and reviewed.

The job has gone well, the boys were well organised and the work executed well. Nice professional job . The weekly update is also refreshing rather than having to chase companies for progress updates.” – Project Manager, Statutory Corporation of the Ministry of Defence.

Just a short email to pass on our appreciation for the works executed during the last two weeks. We found your team to be punctual, helpful, hardworking and a credit to your company. From the repair to the GRP lining of the large jet fuel tank, to the minor touch-up repairs on the small diesel tanks, the works were carried out seamlessly and to a high standard, and this has been confirmed by the independent coating inspector today. Please pass on our thanks to Mariusz and Marian and we look forward to working with FPL again in the near future.” – Project Engineer, Leading Environmental Consultancy to the Defence Sector.
