COURSE OVERVIEW

Confined Space Entry (CSE) procedures are made for the safety of those working in confined space. They are designed to prevent accidents and injuries caused by the accidental release of energy. The use of these procedures prevents workers from accidentally being exposed to injurious and even life-threatening situations with energized machinery and equipment.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of confined space entry and gas testing. It covers the principles of confined spaces including their associated hazards, regulations governing the work, preparations required before entry, emergency procedures and responsibilities; the atmospheric testing; the analysis and interpretation of gas test results and associated hazard; the different types of electrical and non-electrical equipment to be used in hazardous and confined areas; and the practical skills required for confined space entry including hazard identification, risk assessment and entry permits.
