Course Description

AIP Safety is offering/instructing ESC Confined Space Training on behalf of Energy Safety Canada, and the training credential is under Energy Safety Canada. Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Code and the ESC define a confined space as a restricted space that may become hazardous to a worker entering it because of the following:

● An atmosphere that is or may be harmful because of oxygen deficiency or enrichment, flammability, explosivity or toxicity.
● A condition or changing set of circumstances within that space that presents a potential for injury or illness.
● The potential or inherent characteristics of an activity which can produce adverse or harmful consequences within the space.

Confined spaces present special hazards to workers, including risks of toxic or asphyxiant gas exposure, fires, falls and entrapment. Workers must remain aware of these potential hazards and how to avoid or control them in their daily work activities.

ESC Confined Space is a one-day course (8 Hours) and will teach participants basic knowledge and proficiency concerning confined space entry procedures, legislation and the related Regional Code of Practice. Additionally, participants will be taught knowledge and proficiency in performing the required duties of a Confined Space Monitor.
