Confined Space Entry – 2 Day
This course is designed confined space entrants, standby persons, supervisors and rescue personnel. All workers who have roles and responsibilities with regard to confined space must be educated and trained in the hazards and necessary controls to complete their work safely. This course is similar to our 8 hour Confined Space Entry Course but allows for more in-depth discussions, deployment and use of equipment (monitor, fan, tripod, harness use) in addition to participating in an actual Confined Space Entry. This course will be instructed by someone who assesses and writes confined space hazard assessments and entry procedures, a Qualified Person as defined by WorkSafeBC Part 9.11.
