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

The aim of this unit is to assess learners acting as the top man (person) in a realistic medium risk confined space environment. The CABWI Level 2 Award in Working in Medium Risk Confined Spaces (Top Person) (Non-Entrant) allows learners to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required by those who need to work at medium risk confined spaces as part of their job role, but who are not required, or are unable, to enter and work in the confined space. Their role will involve acting as a top person on site for those entering the 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 and CCEA Regulation.

To achieve a full Level 2 Award in Top Person for Medium Risk Confined Spaces, a learner must complete a single unit: Top person for medium risk confined spaces. The learner must demonstrate sufficient knowledge and understanding of medium 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
