Target Audience

Every worker who is required to enter a confined space or tend someone entering a confined space in the workplace.

Learning Outcome

• Participants will be qualified to work inside a confined space or work as a standby attendant.
  Learning Objectives

• The primary objective of this course is to teach the participants how to safely enter a confined space by recognizing and mitigating the inherent hazards unique to this workspace.
• Participants will be taught how to comply with the worksite’s written Confined Space program as defined by Federal and / or Provincial regulations.
• This course is not designed to provide skills needed to enter Confined Spaces that are immediately dangerous to life and health.

Delivery Method

The Confined Space course is divided into two parts:

• Theory
• Practical & Hands on

Participants will complete specific exercises to demonstrate knowledge and skills. Each participant will have a final written quiz and will receive a certificate of competency upon completion.

Topics

• Identifying the site’s Confined Spaces.
• Assessing hazards within these Confined Spaces and identifying those that are permit-required Confined Spaces.
• Establishing procedures to manage those hazards.
• Acquiring the safety equipment (e.g. gas monitors, respirators, harnesses and/or retrieval lines) needed to mitigate the identified hazards and how to use them.
• Safe work policies and procedures.
• WCB Regulation

Confined Space “Level 2” 208-2 – 13 hours

The level two program was specially designed for supervisors and professional safety workers. We will expand on the topics mentioned above and provide participants with a site specific drill, develop a primary risk assessment & confined space entry permit.

Confined Space “Review” 208-R – 3.5 hours

The review program will expand on existing knowledge and will review all components of the 208-1 or 2 Program. At the client’s request a drill may be performed as the review program.

Comments:
For Confined Space training to be effective and efficient it should be conducted within the context of the workplace environment. To ensure our programs meet both the employer’s and the participant’s needs we will conduct a site visit prior to completing the course outline. This site work will allow us to train within the company’s policies and procedures for the management of entry into confined spaces as well as ensure the development of a Hazards Assessment/Confined Space entry permit for the identified training environment. We also have programs for the Confined Space Supervisor (208-2) as well as a Confined Space Rescue Team. Please call for details.
