Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Can I enter a confined space after this course?
No. Only workers trained by their employer and authorized under the site's plan and entry permit may enter. Ontario, for example, requires adequate training for entrants, attendants and rescuers. This course is awareness only.
What should I do if someone collapses inside a confined space?
Do not go in. Raise the alarm, call the trained rescue team and 911 as your site plan says, and keep others out.
Why do so many rescuers die?
People rush in to help without testing the air or wearing supplied air, and are overcome by the same hazard. CCOHS reports more than 60% of confined space deaths are would-be rescuers.
