This course is suitable for those oil and gas personnel required to

including virtual 360° environments to ensure active trainee

(including confined spaces) as part of the requirements for ensuring a
safe working environment where toxic or flammable gases may be
present or there could be too little or too much oxygen present.
NOTE: This is the highest level of authorisation within the OPITO
approval scheme and includes the necessary detail for surveying for
