Face to Face training will be conducted over a period of 2 days with prior Confined Space and Breathing Apparatus Experience or 3 days without Confined Space and Breathing Apparatus experience. Training includes both theory and practical components.

Training can be conducted both on or offsite site provided a training room and confined (or simulated space) are available for use.

To ensure quality training and a safe learning environment, the maximum allowable group size is 8 participants.

• Types of confined spaces onsite
• Confined Space Entry Procedures
• Confined Space Entry Permit
• JSEA or SWMS
• List of Confined Space Entry Rescue equipment used onsite
• Site emergency plan
