Confined Space Containers

What are Confined Space Training Units?

Confined space training units are made from modified shipping containers and are specially designed to provide realistic environments for the safe training of individuals in confined space entry, rescue, and safety procedures. These units are typically used by industries where workers must enter and work in confined spaces, such as construction, manufacturing, mining, utilities, and emergency services.

What modifications can be done on Confined Space Training Units?

Our confined space units can be modified to the purchaser’s individual requirements. We can install external features such as staircases and steel grated decking across the roof, as well as roof hatches that can be closed off for tasks to be completed in the dark. We are also able to fit personnel doors with panic bars to allow for a quick exit.


Internally, we can supply timber wall partitions that act as obstacles, emergency lighting, ladders, and any other necessary materials needed for training purposes.

What sectors are Confined Space Training Units useful for?

Confined space training units are particularly useful for industries such as fire and emergency services, telecommunications, electrical and engineering.

Workers in industrial and engineering sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and construction often need confined space training to safely perform their duties. Firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency responders use these units to practice rescue operations and emergency procedures.

Teams and individuals are able to undergo bespoke training exercises relating to their areas of work and the possibilities that they may face.

For example, engineers are able to practice entering and exiting manholes safely, and how to respond to accidents or injuries by helping both responsive and unresponsive casualties.

What are the benefits of Confined Space Training Units?

These bespoke training units are a cost-effective and valuable way for individuals to hone their skillset in a space created to mimic their potential working environments.

Having ready-available access to underground spaces and manholes can prove difficult. By having confined space training units on-site, this allows for everyday training as the containers replicate potential real life scenarios.

Unlike real confined spaces, these units allow for controlled training with safety measures in place, including easy access for trainers and emergency responders.

Shipping containers are durable and can be reused for multiple training sessions over many years. These training units help organisations comply with occupational safety and health regulations by providing documented and consistent training experiences.

Training conducted in these units can be used for certification and compliance purposes, ensuring workers are properly trained for confined space entry and rescue.
