Generic Risk Assessments 2.1.3 - Rescues from Trenches/Pits

Product Description

It must be read in the context of GRA 2.1 Confined Spaces and The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, which provides information relating top FRS work in confined spaces.

Key features:

• Rescues from confined spaces - trenches and pits
• Significant hazards and risks

• Technical references.

This GRA is supplied as a loose-leaf document. A binder pack containing an introduction to the series, foreword by Sir Ken Knight, contents and dividers is available to order separately. The binder is the ideal solution for storing the loose-leaf GRAs.
