Introduction:

Although every effort must be made to prevent a confined space emergency, unforeseen or otherwise uncontrollable events may occur during the course of an entry. In 60% of confined space accidents, the would-be rescuers become victims. This statistic can be greatly reduced with proper rescue training and planning.

Rescue planning is not only a necessity from a practical viewpoint; it is a legally-required component of any confined space entry program.

Classroom instruction combined with hands-on use of rescue equipment in a simulated rescue drill will improve a rescuer’s ability to conduct an effective rescue without placing other personnel at an increased risk of injury or death.

 

Training Objectives:

• Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the challenges and hazards associated with a confined space rescue.

• Determine appropriate methods to conduct a confined space rescue.

• Review and become familiar with confined space entry rescue procedures and equipment.

• Understand the applicable legislative requirements.

• Inspect, set-up and use rescue equipment available at the client’s location.

 

Target Audience:

• Workers and Associates entering a confined space, as well as their Attendants

• Rescue Personnel Supervisors and Managers Health & Safety Committee Members
