Introduction
Confined spaces present a vast range of Occupational Health and Safety risks due to the significant hazards found in or around the environment. A high proportion of workers are injured and killed each year in confined spaces, with an estimated 60% of the fatalities due to unsuccessful rescue attempts. A confined space can be more hazardous than regular workspaces for many reasons. Many hazards are not visible and are undetectable to the human senses.
Furthermore, hazards that may not be considered as a risk in general workplaces can become dangerous in a confined space environment (e.g. rust or decaying leaf matter). Due to the specific nature and hazards associated with confined spaces, specific procedures and assessment processes must be completed to ensure the safety of workers. To effectively control the risks associated with working in a confined space, a Confined Space Hazard Assessment and Control Program should be implemented. This includes effective training, assessment and briefing of any workers required to work in or around confined spaces. These workers may include management, supervisors, staff and visitors to the site.

Course Overview
Risk management is a key component of a successful organisation that deals with or is exposed to hazardous environments or equipment. It is crucial to such organisations that risks, and safety aspects are evaluated and monitored continuously in a structured manner. Proper management of risks is also required to assess the repercussions associated with potential security threats, devise an effective mitigation plan, and implement it effectively.
One of the first steps in ensuring overall security and preventing attacks is security risk assessment and management. Assessing risks allows individuals and organisations to identify the threat they are exposed to and also be able to evaluate the level of the associated risk. A proper security risk assessment allows the individual or organisation to prepare an effective plan or strategy for mitigating or managing the risk.
