Course Description

The Confined Space Entry course allows entrants, attendants, and supervisors to understand and evaluate the hazards and procedures associated with confined spaces safely and confidently. It will outline the duties and responsibilities of team members, as well as go over emergency rescue procedures and plan development.

In addition to confined space entry procedures and hazards, this course will discuss the need for appropriate personal protective equipment, the selection characteristics, and pre-entrance testing for each level of protection. Documentation will be provided to the student to satisfy due diligence and local regulation compliance.

This course meets the criteria for accepted practices in occupational health and safety training (CAN/CSA Z1006-10), the highest standard in the industry.

Students will demonstrate their understanding throughout the course using written and practical skill assessments.
