Course Unit: Working In Confined Spaces (High Risk - Top Person) - CABWI

The aim of this unit is to assess learners acting as the top person for a confined space entry in a high risk environment. The CABWI Level 3 Award in Top Person for High Risk Confined Spaces allows learners to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required by those who need to act as a top person for a high risk confined entry operation as part of their job role. The qualification is designed specifically for those who are undertaking a top person role, and achievement of this Level 3 Award does not prove that a learner is competent to enter and/or work in a confined space. The content, structure and assessment requirements of the qualification were developed by CABWI Awarding Body, in consultation with representatives of the water and utilities industries and their training and assessment providers. This award sits in the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and is regulated by Ofqual.

To achieve a full Level 3 Award in Top Person for High Risk Confined Spaces, a learner must complete a single unit: Top person for high risk confined spaces. The learner must demonstrate sufficient knowledge and understanding of high risk confined spaces, and must demonstrate the appropriate practical skills and knowledge, through a mix of practical observation and written assessment.

The unit teaching will typically take place over the course of one day
