CS03 Multi-stage CS Vertical Access

Overview

Multi-stage confined spaces are those with more than one vertical ladder or shaft required during entry, but limited horizontal features. Access is by repeated sets of harness/winch/tripod climbing and lowering systems. The basic methods of vertical access are the same, but management and rescue is more complex.
There is an element of assessment in this course.
