In confined spaces, choosing the wrong escape set can compromise the seal, the protection, and ultimately the outcome in an emergency.
This isn’t about preference it’s about suitability for the person wearing it and the risk they’re exposed to.
ActSafe Power Ascender Open Day updates, mobile training that comes to you, and weekly safety insight videos. Everything you need to stay informed, prepared, and operational as we move into 2026.
Confined space work doesn’t rely on one person. It relies on a team.
Every confined space operation requires clearly defined roles, each with specific responsibilities that keep the job safe, legal, and controlled.
In this episode, we break down:
- The six key roles in a confined space team
- Who’s responsible for what
- Why missing roles create real risk
- How poor role clarity leads to incidents
If you’re on site and “just hanging about” something’s wrong.
Cold weather. Icy roads. Training still needs to happen.
With current winter conditions making travel unpredictable, that’s where our Mobile Training Unit comes in.
We bring fully accredited confined space and work at height training directly to your site or a familiar location for your team. The unit is equipped with the same training equipment and facilities used at our centre, delivering the same high-quality standards and without the travel.
✔ Reduce travel disruption
✔ Cut accommodation and mileage costs
✔ Train teams in a familiar, real-world environment
