This full, comprehensive and interactive course can be taken online or in a classroom at a “Training Provider” near you. Saga’s Confined Space Practical using Breathing Apparatus course is built on the Confined Space Pre-Entry with Tending Worker course which is the foundation of our Confined Space Training Programs. It’s intended to give trainee’s the opportunity to apply the theory involved with entering a confined space into the practical application of entering a confined space using breathing apparatus.

The course teaches the learner the responsibilities of a Tending Worker, the responsibilities of the SCBA and SABA Watch, how to use a harness, and how to use both SCBA and SABA in a controlled environment.
