Enform Canada (Enform) and Oil Sands Safety Association (OSSA) merged in October 2017 to form a new organization called Energy Safety Canada (ESC). The merger improves safe work training and avoids duplications in training.
AIP Safety is offering ESC Confined Space Training on behalf of Energy Safety Canada, designed for industries that require workers to take confined space training. The ESC training includes educational content for workers on construction sites, oil and gas facilities, commercial buildings, manufacturing, and more.
ESC Training Description
On behalf of Energy Safety Canada, AIP Safety provides ESC Confined Space Training. The training certification is regulated by Energy Safety Canada, so the information and instructionals remain at industry standard quality.
Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Code and ESC describe a confined space as a restrictive area, posing a potential safety hazard to workers entering the space. This description is used due to define:
- A dangerous atmosphere from oxygen deficiency.
- A state or altering set of conditions within the area that present a possibility of harm or sickness.
- The probable or innate activity attributes which may create damaging effects within the room or area.
Confined spaces can produce risks to workers, including threats of harmful or asphyxiant exposure to gases, fires, trips, or entrapments. As such, workers must remain mindful of these potential hazards and learn how to bypass or handle them in their everyday work responsibilities.
ESC Course Objectives
