1 Day Confined Space Training & Escape BA

This 1 Day Confined Space Entry Training Course with Escape BA has content and practical elements that are designed to train delegates to operate in 95% of all confined space locations. Sometimes referred to as a Medium Risk Confined Space Entry Course, our team has been delivering this course for over 15 years. In this time we have trained thousands of delegates, ensuring its popularity and making it the first-choice course among Ireland's leading industrial and construction organisations.

The course content teaches delegates how to Prepare, Enter And Work Safely In Confined Spaces using Escape Breathing Apparatus. The course brings them through the safe work system options for working in areas up to Medium Risk Level and includes using an Escape BA (self-rescue device) as part of a safe work system. Specific Hazards, Risk Assessments, Permits, Atmospheric Gases and Emergencies are all covered.

Practical training takes place in our simulated confined space training unit. Delegates are trained to competently use a Gas Detector, Tripod, Confined Space Harness and Escape Breathing Apparatus (EBA). Each learner is issued with their own equipment and assessed individually and as part of a team.

Medium Risk Confined Space Training

Confined Space Code of Practice 2001

Employees who wish to attain the knowledge and skills required to work in Confined Spaces and:

• May be required to use Escape Breathing Apparatus as part of a Safe System of Work
• Use a tripod and winch for locations with vertical access/egress
• Enter in Teams & leave the Entry Point 

This course is also suitable for Supervisors, Managers and Safety Professionals wishing to gain an appreciation of the various work systems and safety equipment used in Confined Space Work.

PPE Requirements 

Delegates should bring suitable PPE (hi-visibility vest, hard hat, safety boots, knee-pads & warm clothing).

Training Equipment 

Our courses use continuous flow 10 Minute Escape Sets (hood type) as standard. However, we carry a full range of equipment from all mainstream manufacturers and delegates can opt to use positive pressure or constant flow devices.

We use MSA, RAE and Honeywell gas detectors and delegates are welcome to bring their own devices should the have any questions on setup or want us to perform setup.

Continued Customer Relationship 

All course attendees or their employers can discuss any confined space operations issues or challenges with one of our consultants free of charge at any time should the need arise.

Prerequisites

This course is a mix of theoretical and practical sessions, during which delegates will be required to demonstrate their level of knowledge and understanding of the training programme content.
