09: Medium risk entrant and entry controller
Duration: 2 Day Course
By far the most popular course
This meets both requirements of medium risk entrant and medium risk entry controller, done over two days, same as the 6160-02 medium risk entry course. This means there may be a need to do more entries and the question paper is slightly longer to cover the additional content
As well as performing the entry, this qualification is about controlling the entry and exit into medium risk confined spaces and also the arrangements that need to be in place to keep them safe while they are there.
It includes controlling the pre-entry procedures and entry into and out of medium risk confined spaces, maintaining communications with team members who are in confined spaces, monitoring equipment readings, raising the alarm and initiating emergency arrangements
To meet the full requirements of the National Occupational Standards underpinning the qualification the assessment will take place in a medium-risk context.
In addition to the above, all conditions pertaining to 6160-02 will apply to all personnel.
Where working with larger groups it may be necessary to rotate the roles within a group entry to ensure all candidates have the opportunity to demonstrate the necessary criteria.
Throughout the qualifications’ assessment criteria, reference is made to risk assessments which are carried out at different times whilst working on confined spaces.
Equipment Requirements for Emergency Rescue and Recovery
- Self-contained compressed air positive pressure demand breathing apparatus of nominal duration 30 minutes to appropriate specification. The equipment selected should reflect the industry areas in which candidates may be working. (Spare cylinders to maintain training exercises will be required)
- Air-line or trolley set compressed air breathing apparatus complete with spare cylinders, nominal duration one hour complying with appropriate
- An artificial casualty, to be anatomically correct as reasonable for the exercise involved. This casualty should be in the region of 50-60kg. Risk assessments, including manual handling, for the practical exercises must include the handling of this “casualty”
- Hand operated resuscitators
- Oxygen assisted resuscitator

Generic Risk Assessment
Generic risk assessments cover common hazards for a task or activity. A generic risk assessment will often be used for similar activities or equipment across different sites, departments or companies. It can act as a risk assessment template, covering the types of hazards and risks that are usually present for the activity.
The idea behind generic risk assessment is to cut down on duplication of effort and paperwork. This type of risk assessment will consider the hazards for an activity in a single assessment, where that activity may be carried out across different areas of the workplace or different sites.
Site-Specific Risk Assessment
A site-specific risk assessment is a risk assessment that has been completed for a specific item of work that takes account of the site-location, environment, and people doing the work.
A site-specific risk assessment will do more than look at common hazards. It will also address the unusual hazards that might only apply to that specific situation, on that particular day.

Point of Work Risk Assessment (POWRA)
A Point of Work Risk Assessment (POWRA) is a workplace risk assessment carried out prior to start of activity. It is used to identify those things, situations, processes and activities that may cause harm particularly to people. One completed POWRA form can apply to the whole team.
