Commitment to Safety and Excellence
At RWB Group PLC, safety is not just a regulatory requirement but a core value that defines our operational ethos. The Confined Space Training program is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that every team member is equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to execute their duties safely and efficiently while working in culverts and pipes.

Enhancing Operational Capabilities
Confined spaces, such as manholes and sewer systems, present unique challenges and risks. These environments can be hazardous due to limited access, poor ventilation, and the potential presence of harmful gases.

By successfully completing this training, our team members are now better prepared to undertake complex drainage projects, ensuring that work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in accordance with industry practices.
