Confined Space Suite of Courses
Saga’s Confined Space Suite of Courses is built from the Confined Space Pre-Entry course which is the foundation of our Confined Space Suite of Training Programs. These courses are designed to introduce the learner to the basic concepts, hazards, hazard control processes and safe work procedures associated with confined and restricted spaces.
These courses include the latest updates of the Alberta OHS Act, Regulations and Code and the requirements of CSA 1006-23 Management of Work in Confined Spaces. They are intended to supplement a company’s larger Health & Safety Management System.
These confined space courses include theory and practical skills in:
- Restricted and Confined Space Pre-entry activities.
- Restricted and Confined Space Entry and Exit activities.
- Tending Worker, and SCBA and SABA Safety Watch.
- Harness and Breathing Apparatus use.
- Non-entry Rescues from Restricted and Confined Spaces.
- Simple and Complex Rescues from Restricted and Confined Spaces.
The ‘Confined Space Practical using Breathing Apparatus’ course is endorsed by Energy Safety Canada
