Overview

Course description

Confined Space is a 1-day course for people who work in or around confined spaces. It follows the BC OHS Regulation. You learn to identify a confined space and an excluded space, to recognize atmospheric and physical hazards, and to control them with permits, testing, ventilation and lockout. You learn how to respond to an incident, including the role of the standby person and rescue. You set up and bump test a gas monitor and work through entry permits. Certification takes an exam and a practical evaluation.
