'Realistic'training
November 1st 2009 Confined space working is taken very
seriously by the British Airports
Authority. In addition to those who
are required to work in service
subways, manholes and drains, those
who issue the permits are also
required to undergo confined space
training. To ensure as realistic an
environment as possible, the BAA
Rescue Services Team at London
Heathrow uses Draeger's purposebuilt
training centre at Blyth.
Courses cover selection, use and
maintenance of gas detection
equipment, breathing apparatus and
airlines, through to confined space
entry procedures. First aid and
emergency response are featured and
there is training on the correct use of
drug and alcohol testing equipment. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
