Hi Can anyone offer any advice or point me in the direction of guidance
We have a Sales Manager who may occasionally have to go down sewers (under the supervision of a competent personnel)
I am looking at advising him on risks such as weils, Hep A, PPE, routes of entry etc

He will be confined space trained etc, it the infections and signs, symptoms , precautions of diseases I am more interested in

Regards
Ian
