This course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and technical skills to plan, observe and enter a confined space complying with the confined space standard. It will also cover gas testing to ensure a safe atmosphere exist, as well as practical implementation of the three types of emergency rescue procedures, gas testing and confined space entry (various scenarios). 

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES:

• Identify legal responsibilities when planning a confined space entry and complete the required documentation for a confined space entry – Permits, JSA, TA, SWMS
• Identify hazards and controls within confined spaces
• Develop an emergency procedure plan for a confined space and conduct confined space recues
• Provide definition and examples of confined spaces, categories and risks within confined spaces
• Demonstrate knowledge of monitoring and confined space testing requirements
• Describe the responsibilities and duties of people entering; or conducting observation duties for a confined space (safety observers)
• Demonstrate knowledge of atmospheric testing in potentially hazardous environments to ensure a suitable atmosphere exists to work safely
• Conduct gas tests, and interpret and respond to gas test results, in an energy and chemical plant.
