Impactful Confined Space Training
CONFINED SPACE TRAINING
We’ve all been in one of those courses that makes you wish you were doing something more valuable with your time such as watching paint dry or banging your head against the wall. We are never surprised when we see students enter our class expecting the day to slide by slower than molasses. We see these preconceptions of confined space training as a challenge.
What is that challenge? How do we engage students in a subject that could save their lives, how do we impart our enthusiasm for workplace safety to everyone who steps foot in our building. We have never backed down from this challenge, because we know exactly how to provide engaging confined space training. The following list contains the five things that make our confined space training an excellent investment for your company.
- CURRICULUM: The curriculum is where it all starts. Basically, if we see that curriculum does not meet the needs of our students or the company who has hired us, we will not use it. We have chosen the best curriculum on the market, and to make things even better, we never shy away from injecting case studies and materials to make the subject matter more relevant to our clients’ work. After all, there is no use learning exclusively about confined space hazards on barges when you are employed at a brewery.
- INSTRUCTORS: We are proud to have some of the best instructors in the safety training industry. Our instructors have real world experience as rescue personnel, first responders, tradespeople, and more. It is this abundance of life experience that allows our instructors to relate to their students in a way that the “old boys club safety practitioner” just can’t. We always want to understand the safety issues that our students face and provide solutions for their unique needs. To do this requires great people who understand what the working world is all about.
- SIMULATORS: We don’t believe in talking for hours on end. At some point everyone needs to get out and get their hands dirty. That’s why we have built a confined space simulator that allows our students to practice the roles related to confined space entry. Training on-site? Even better, we will practice those confined space skills exactly where you will use them! Each student will get to practice being a confined space attendant and an entrant. We walk you through the permitting procedures, accountability formwork, and atmospheric monitoring. There is no doubt that our students benefit greatly from the practical portion of our confined space courses.
- CASE STUDIES: This is where the jaws drop. Most people come into a confined space course with no prior knowledge of confined space hazards. What? Most confined space fatalities involve untrained rescuers? People have died because they lack the knowledge this course provides. There is no doubt; confined space safety is no joke.
- BRINGING IT HOME: Throughout our courses we are always looking for way to maximize the impact of our material. How can we “bring it home”? To answer this we might, provide examples from our client’s workplace, ask our students to bring in examples or pictures, discuss regulatory orders, or work tirelessly in any number of ways to engage our students.
