Medium Risk Confined Space Entry Training

DESCRIPTION

If the operative is required to enter any tank, chamber, or room that has a restricted air flow but would expect the atmosphere to at least start off as
safe then they would require the medium risk confined space entry course. The medium risk confined space entry course will teach candidates how
to use the gas monitor, escape set, tripod, winch, harness and other associated confined space entry equipment. It will build a basic awareness
of how to formulate a risk assessment and spot potential hazards. It allows for the operatives to disconnect from the winch as a working party
but the escape time must be considered so that all entrants have sufficient time if an alarm or event occurs that all can exit safely.
This confined space training course is about working in confined space environments where there is a medium risk that a specified hazard may be present.
It will involve the presence of one or more people – positioned outside the confined space – who have designated responsibilities for controlling the entry
and dealing with emergencies. Completion of this confined space training course allows for entrance to NC1, NC2 and NC3 confined spaces.
NC2 medium risk confined spaces are defined as; vertical direct unobstructed access with continuous
attachment to a man riding hoist or similar mechanical rescue device.
NC3 medium risk confined spaces are defined as; when it is not possible to have persons permanently attached to a safety line.
Usually it will be a team entry which moves away from the entry point. This situation can be, man entry sewers, aqueducts and
complex wet wells. Working without an attached rescue line and includes working away from the point of entry.
