The frequency of refresher training will depend upon how long since the type of work was last done, or if there have been changes to methods of work, safety procedures or equipment.

Evolve would recommend that the maximum time period between refresher training is 2 years. However, if personnel have not been exposed to regular confined space work over predetermined period Evolve would recommend personnel resits the full course.
