Confined space entry

Practise permits, gas testing and entry checks with zero exposure.

One procedure, 15–30 trainees, loaner headsets, results in 4–8 weeks.

The best pilot candidates are high-risk, high-frequency or hard to practise on live equipment. Start with one procedure, one cohort, and measured before-and-after results in 4–8 weeks.

What trainees practise

Check the entry permit and every isolation before opening up
Test the atmosphere for oxygen, flammables and toxics, at every level of the space
Set up ventilation and keep monitoring while people are inside
