Fees and facilitation

  • All courses are individually designed for each client and are therefore always conducted on client's sites to enable participants to identify their unique hazards and procedures.  Participants become highly proficient in identifying issues specific to planning, safe operations and rescue.  Additionally client's equipment is always used to ensure proficiency in operational procedures.
  • We suggest that all confined space operators undertake the same course so that information interchange and brainstorming activities can occur.  In this way clients discover that the training achieves far more and is also a great team-building opportunity.
  • Site-specific, colour, competency-based workbook provided to participants
  • Course conducted via laptop computer (Microsoft Powerpoint) and data projector
  • Two excellent up-to-date DVD's  30 minutes each with discussion
  • Course duration 1 day: usually 9am - 4 pm but always to suit client's needs
