Hi


Generally a simulated confined space can be used for entry, and escape sets are pretty standard so the training should equip people to prepare themselves for a situation and evacuate. We use a kitted out container, however the use of BA kit needs to be to what the cleint uses with face fits and medicals etc in place before training commences. Also it depends on the space used in training and entry method - is it the same as the real thing?

Note what Steve S has said; and I have evaluated many training organisations and found competence etc to be very varied and has noting to do with the glossy [ & expensive] marketing paperwork supplied

I agree with the comment about organisation size and competence having no correlation. I would also say that, in my experience, confined space training, confined space rescue training and BA training are three different areas. They could all conceivably take quite some time, and in this area, the training has to be rigorous.

A large proportion of purpose built confined space training centres simulate entry into a sewer. Now if you are a highways bridge inspector whose work involves going into box girder bridges, doesn't it make sense to take the trainer to a bridge instead of taking the delegates to the training centre?
