Confined Space Emergency: Confined Space & the Emergency Responder (Program 2)

This online safety training course is part two of a three-part series on confined space emergencies. This Video On Demand training focuses on the roles of the confined space attendant and first responders, and illustrates the steps to take in the event of an emergency.

Viewers learn the importance of having an attendant stationed at the entry of a confined space. An attendant should never enter the confined space for rescue unless properly trained and equipped, and only if there is someone who can take their place as attendant. The role of the attendant is to maintain communication with the entrants, keep the opening clear, remain alert for hazards in and around the space, and order an evacuation when necessary. The attendant alerts rescue teams in an emergency, and provides rescuers with information and assistance. This course also explains how to size up a confined space emergency, ventilation, and other related topics.

Part one of this series looks at the dangers of confined spaces and the precautions to take before entering. Part three examines the requirements of technical rescue from confined spaces.

The practical information provided in this online video training course teaches you how to respond effectively to confined space emergencies.
