Exam
Practical 1 – Confined Space Entry
Practical portion of the Confined Entry course will include Bump Testing of gas monitors, inspection and use of air supplying and air purifying breathing apparatuses, as well as pre-entry setup of ventilation systems. A complete hazard/risk assessment of confined space will be conducted using a scenario supplied to students. Isolations will be applied and all personal protective equipment will be used that is needed to complete the assigned task and finally, entry will be made incorporating all the different roles of a Confined Space Entry program. Students will have the opportunity to use all procedures and equipment that are covered in theory portion.
