COURSE TITLE:
CONFINED SPACE ENTRY – 2 DAY
This course is designed confined space entrants, standby persons, supervisors and rescue personnel. All workers who have roles and responsibilities with regard to confined space must be educated and trained in the hazards and necessary controls to complete their work safely. This course is similar to our 8 hour Confined Space Entry Course but allows for more in-depth discussions, deployment and use of equipment (monitor, fan, tripod, harness use) in addition to participating in an actual Confined Space Entry. This course will be instructed by someone who assesses and writes confined space hazard assessments and entry procedures, a Qualified Person as defined by WorkSafeBC Part 9.11.

“Thanks so much, the course was very helpful and informative. I also really appreciated the feedback regarding a career in health and safety.”
Karren had a lot of energy and great stories that apply to this course. This course will be recommended to others.
Very knowledgeable instructor, very well experienced and communicates really well with the group. I have been to many courses over the years (35) and this instructor is one of the best I can remember. Fantastic job as an instructor and know how.
Of all the confined space training I have received in the past, this has been the best! The biggest point I got is to not rely on existing regulations, but use a best practice model.
Excellent course with a very knowledgeable instructor. I would highly recommend this to any person needing to work around confined space. Honestly some of the best vendor training I have received. Great job Jason!
The course content was good and the delivery of “must know” topics was taught in a way that it required attendees pay close attention and take notes. Well done Jason, and thanks from the group.
I have taken many many many different courses and this one has to be the most organized and prepared of them all. The presentation had all the answers.
Jason is an excellent instructor who really knows his subject. Jason has an excellent personality and his delivery of the course was reflective of his personality. I would recommend Jason and this course to anyone.
I appreciated Jason’s practical “in the field” experience. Very engaging training and very applicable and ready-to-use for our specific work!
I review these (confined space documents) all the time and this was one of the best I have ever read. The documents are simple for others who may not have a background in safety to understand, and was very well put together. That makes my job much easier to disseminate the information and pass it along in the field.
The guys said the instructor made the course. It was very informative…Jason always does an excellent job.
Thoroughly impressed with the instructor’s knowledge of the topic and how it was presented
Jason was extremely knowledgeable and has a very broad background of skills that contribute to a great learning experience.
I usually tend to fall asleep in these courses. Jason was energetic and kept us focussed all day. Good job!
Karren, after talking to the guys about their confined space training, congratulations on a job well done. Our crew were all impressed with the course.
Jason is one of the best instructors I’ve had for a safety training course. He kept the course interesting and made it easy to learn.
Very well done. Jason is a very knowledgeable instructor. He was able to discuss real life examples which help to reinforce the concepts.
I’ve sat through more than 15 confined space courses over my career and this is by far the best one I have taken. Karren is practical, hands on and clear. Thanks!
