Overview
Confined spaces can be extremely dangerous work environments, and when a worker inside becomes incapacitated, the need for proper, efficient and effective emergency response is critical.
This one-day course will address basic principles and concepts of confined space entry rescue for standard confined space locations. The course will concentrate on the use of tripods, davits and pre-engineered rescue systems applied in both vertical and horizontal extrications.
The practical ‘hands-on’ learning format will provide students with an engaging and enjoyable learning environment and is delivered by one of our highly qualified instructors.
Due to the physical nature of the curriculum, participants need to be capable of performing physical activities in order to partake in the program. Contact us for more details.
Students will receive a workbook for the class and certification upon completion.
