Purpose of Confined Space Training

The Confined Space Training is designed to provide participants with the essential knowledge and skills required to safely enter, work in, and rescue from confined spaces. This course is tailored for professionals across various industries, including maritime, construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas, where work in confined spaces is a common and necessary activity. Confined spaces, such as tanks, silos, pits, and pipelines, present unique hazards, including oxygen deficiency, toxic atmospheres, and restricted access, that can result in serious injury or death. This course prepares participants to identify and assess these risks, implement safety procedures, and conduct effective rescue operations. It is ideal for those who may be required to perform or supervise confined space entry and emergency response.

Introduction to Confined Space Entry

A staggering number of workers are killed or seriously injured every year in confined spaces due to lack of knowledge of the environments they are working in and the equipment they are working with.

This course is intended for participants who require the knowledge and safe working practices for reducing risks when entering or working in confined space environments.

Through a combination of classroom theory and practical exercises, the participants will gain the necessary knowledge in order to react and work within a confined space environment including the safe use of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.
