Enclosed Space Training

Senior Management SeminarWhilst training in enclosed space operations is essential for those undertaking and supervising such operations, there is a need for Senior Management to have an understanding of the problems those operations incur. This one day seminar for Senior Management in the Marine Industry is designed for candidates to gain an appreciation of the problems involved in enclosed space management, the associated rescue techniques and the choice and use of necessary rescue equipment. It translates a proven seminar system from Shore Industry to Marine Industry and provides an opportunity for Senior Management to discuss the overall problem with experts in this subject. To assist with the flow of the seminar, delegates are invited to a reception the evening prior to the seminar, to meet the training management staff. This seminar is limited to a maximum of ten people to ensure personalised attention to each delegate.

Enclosed Space ManagementAll enclosed spaces, and operations occurring within them, need to be managed. This two day in-house only course is run at one of our training centres. It is designed for Senior Shore/Ship/Platform Management and Shipyard and Port Management concerned with the management of enclosed space entry. It is designed to give a total appreciation of enclosed spaces and the associated problems. It covers the training and practical requirements, documentation, the equipment and rescue techniques in a combined classroom and practical instruction, with in-house discussion of the related problems.

All enclosed spaces on ships and platforms have to be managed. It is essential that there is an overall management plan for these areas and procedures for operations taking place within them. This requires the involvement of the ship or platform management in the formulation of these plans and a method of managing their implementation.The two day Enclosed Space Management Course run at one of our training centres is specifically designed for this purpose.

Enclosed Space Training

Safe Entry into Enclosed SpacesThe basis to safety in enclosed spaces is the knowledge of safe entry procedures. This two day course covers entering and working safely within an enclosed space, utilising risk assessments, action plans and permits to work. In addition, it includes monitoring/entry equipment, emergency escape breathing devices (EEBDs), personal protective equipment (PPE) and dealing with an emergency situation. This course can be divided into two parts for on-board training if required.Competence assessment can be undertaken at an accredited centre which would result in City and Guilds Certification.

High Risk SpacesThese types of spacs, under normal situations, should never be entered. We do, however, recognise that on rare occasions situations may develop which require such spaces to be entered. For this reason, this intensive three day course has been developed and is held at one of our training centres. It covers entering and working safely within high risk enclosed spaces whilst wearing breathing apparatus. The course incorporates risk assessments, action plans, permits-to-work, monitoring/entry equipment, EEBDs, PPE and dealing with an emergency situation. Additionally, it includes using specialist detection and resuscitation equipment.Competence assessment can be undertaken at an accredited centre which would result in City and Guilds Certification.

Rescue from an Enclosed SpaceRescue from an enclosed space is an essential part of the Enclosed Space Safety Training Programme. This is an intensive course designed to develop the delegates' abilities to rescue or evacuate personnel who may be trapped, injured or overcome in an enclosed space. Leadership and teamwork are developed while delegates learn the latest extraction/evacuation techniques. Hands-on training in all relevant types of self-contained breathing apparatus and associated rescue equipment, including tripods, fall-arrest, winching arrangements, rescue stretchers, resuscitation, oxygen, gas monitoring equipment and on-site first aid are an essential part of the course.

Oversee Drill & DebriefTwo MRS Training & Rescue personnel can be made available to oversee your general emergency party undertaking an enclosed space drill session on board your vessel. Whilst the drill is on-going, we will appraise the performance of both your emergency party and their equipment. Following the drill, a full de-briefing session will take place where all issues will be discussed, including any points for improvement.Time permitting, the drill can be re-run and active coaching will be given suggesting industry best practice.

On-Site DemonstrationMRS Training & Rescue recognises the urgent pressures of work on many ships, which restricts the time available for crews to undertake certain courses. To assist with this, an on-site demonstration has been designed where a MRS Training & Rescue team visit the ship and, over the course of three hours, provide a demonstration of pre-entry, entry and rescue procedures with a real time, interactive question and answer session. Whilst this will not provide the in-depth training in enclosed space procedures, it will heighten crew awareness of the dangers and problems involved and show how a safe rescue should be effected, giving the officers and crew the opportunity to discuss the overall problem with our experts.
