A confined space is an
enclosed or partially enclosed area that
is big enough for a worker to enter. It
is not designed for someone to work in
regularly, but workers may need to enter
the confined space for tasks such as
inspection, cleaning, maintenance, and
repair. Entry into confined spaces can
be very hazardous. Unless proper
training, equipment, and procedures are
in place workers must not be allowed to
enter such spaces.
The Confined Space one day course is
customized to the client’s facility,
using their actual tanks or spaces for
entries and simulated rescues. If SCBA
(Self-contained breathing apparatus) or
SABA (Supplied air breathing apparatus)
are required, then a two day course is
needed. Both the one and two day classes
are instructed by two trainers.

Space course, please view the following
