In order to avoid common issues experienced around Breathing Apparatus ‘Fit Check’, students are required to make any adjustments to their facial hair prior to attending the training session at CTG. This can be achieved by clean shaving or only having facial hair which will not interfere with the fitting surfaces and parts of the breathing apparatus face mask. Correct fit of a mask requires contact with smooth skin. This makes masks unsuitable for men with beards or moustaches.

Are trenches confined spaces?

A confined space is an enclosed space that has restricted entry and exit. It may have an atmosphere which contains potentially harmful levels of contaminant and unsafe levels of oxygen. Some areas of an trench can be deemed a confined space based on the access and set up of the area. Whether it is a confined space or not would be addressed on the Safe Work Method Statement (SMWS) or risk assessment of the trench.

What is a confined space ticket?

A confined space ticket is a what you receive once completed confined space training with CTG.

Do confined space tickets expire?

Once completing your confined space training, it is a South East Water requirement to complete an annual refresher course.

Is confined space high risk work?

Confined space is not not deemed a high risk class. However, this does not mean the job itself does not include tasks that are high risk activities. All risk associated with any job task should have a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) completed for all persons safety.
