Confined Space Rescue Refresher Course

Course Description:

Duration: 8 Hours

The Confined Space Rescue Refresher Course is a critical training program designed to reinforce the expertise of professionals responsible for conducting rescue operations in confined spaces. This intensive 8hour course is tailored to refresh the necessary skills and knowledge to perform rescues within OSHA 1910.146 and NFPA standards.

Who Should Take This Course:

8. Execution of rescue scenarios.

Hands-On Training

Practical exercises in a mock/simulated confined space environment are a central component of this course, providing participants with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and refine their skills in a controlled, realistic setting.
NOTE: NATEC does not provide a confined space location. Training will be mock/simulated or location provided by client.
