INTRODUCTION DRÄGER TRAINING FOR CONFINED SPACE WORK

WHICHEVER INDUSTRY YOU WORK IN – CHEMICAL, WASTE WATER TREATMENT, MINING, OFFSHORE OR SHIPBUILDING – THE

UTMOST CARE MUST ALWAYS BE TAKEN BY STAFF AND MANAGERS ALIKE WHEN WORKERS ARE REQUIRED TO ENTER CONFINED

SPACES.

Confined Space Entry is one of the highest-risk activities around. Because of the limitedspace available, it is particularly relevantwhether hazardous gases are present orcould be generated. Even in todays society,the number of accidents which occur in theconfined space environment remains alarm-ingly high. Aging or ill maintained facilities,ignorance and limited budget availability forinvestment in safety equipment and traininggive rise to dangerous situations which couldotherwise be avoided.

These are exactly the areas requiring proac-tive and professional attention by employers:every training course is an investment inthe safety of workers and the protection offacilities.

We have made it our job to ensure that youare able to correctly implement the legalregulations for confined space entry, bypractising and applying these rules in con-sultation with you. Dräger offers practicaltraining courses to prepare your staff for CSEactivities; courses which can be individually

adapted to meet the requirements of yourcompanies operating environment.

To minimize the costs and effort involved foryou, we have developed a mobile traininggallery. Thanks to our specially designedtraining module, a wide range of workscenarios can be set up. Therefore hazardsituations can be simulated in very littletime and all right on site at your company'spremises. This reduces the cost of personneltransportation and enables your staff to trainusing their own equipment (where available).

We'll be with you every step of the way, no matterhow tight a situation you may find yourself in.

All that is needed is anarea measuring 10 x 10metres, plus a powersource.

Following a clearance measurement,the course participant enters theconfined space using the necessaryheight safety equipment. Correctdonning of the personal protectiveequipment is essential.

Always on hand: our DrägerAcademy trainers.

The respiratory protective devicerestricts freedom of movementand exerts additional physicalstress.

Adding to the working stresslevels: a cosmetic smokegenerator reduces visibility.

Interchangeable methods ofentry: personnel access holes,drains etc.

The supervisor monitors thesafety of all participants duringtraining.

Multiple height safety tripod systems: varying training opportunities.

The rescue dummy is brought up through thenarrow pipe system with the aid of a stretcher.

Mobile and realistic: our CSE training.


DRÄGER TRAININGS FÜR ARBEITEN IM CONFINED-SPACE-BEREICH

Training. Confined Space Entry.System interventions can give rise to hazardswhich differ from normal operating conditionsand may not be recognized by staff that havenot been given appropriate training. For thisreason, a regular safety briefing is prescribedby current safety guidelines (e.g. at leastonce a year). Restricted freedom of move-ment, a lack of adequate lighting, problemswith stability, e.g. when working on ladders– work in confined spaces requires absoluteattentiveness and, all too often, poses aserious psychological burden on workers.Additionally, leaking gas pipelines can changeconcentrations of contaminants while workis ongoing. This leads to increased stressand necessitates the use of gas detectors.

Because the only escape route is oftenthrough personnel access holes; personnelmust make sure that they know exactly whereto put their hands and feet during entry, sothat they can extricate themselves quickly ifrequired. We use our mobile training galleryto give course participants a one day inten-sive training in how to enter confined spaces.Following an extensive safety briefing, theyare familiarized with typically encounteredhazardous situations. A wide range of sce-narios, e.g. how to rescue injured personnel,the occurrence of gas hazards etc. can besimulated quickly and flexibly. Afterwards,each operation is debriefed and interactivediscussion encouraged.

Detailed course contents- Theory and practical exercises in the

mobile training gallery - Use of respiratory protective and gas

detection equipment is possible- Use of rescue and safety equipment for

containers, shafts and sewers- Handling of personal protective equipment

to protect against accidental fall - Basic legal principles - Introduction of rescue techniques

To take part, personnel must have experienceof working in confined spaces, and a medicalexamination is preferred.

CONTAINERS, ENCLOSED AND CONFINED SPACES HAVE TO BE ENTERED IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT SERVICING, REPAIR AND

CLEANING WORK. ANY INTERRUPTION TO PRODUCTION PROCESSES, HOWEVER, INVOLVES A CERTAIN DEGREE OF RISK.

Professional training takes place one step at a time.

TRAINING

Training. Confined Space Entry –Supervisor.The supervisor is the link between workersand the ‘outside world’. He is responsiblefor ensuring that the situation is safe, andmust make sure that the required safetymeasures are implemented. Whatever the scenario – whether gasescapes or a worker is in danger – thesupervisor must be prepared to make withcritical decisions. It is up to him to ensurethat appropriate action is taken. It is withgood reason that some guidelines state

that supervisors must perform the neces-sary checks at appropriate intervals beforeand during work.

With the aid of the on-site mobile traininggallery course participants are given abasic knowledge of the hazards and safetymeasures involved in confined space entryover the period of two days. They learnhow to apply the necessary rescue tech-niques and are taught about the requiredsafety measures for confined space entry,including clearance measurements.

Detailed course contents:- One day of practical training in the mobile

training gallery - Performing a hazard assessment - Organizational measures involved in confined

space entry - Half day of rescue procedures (patient-oriented

rescue, risk of orthostatic intolerance) - Half day of training in the use of gas detection

equipment and direct-reading measuringinstruments

- Clearance measurements as described inwork instructions

HAVE ALL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES BEEN TAKEN? HAS A SAFETY BRIEFING TAKEN PLACE, ARE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

READY FOR USE AND ARE ALL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES KNOWN? THE SUPERVISOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING

ALL WORK OPERATIONS.

In control of the situation at all times.The supervisor has everything in his hand.

Seminar. Clearance measurements infacilities Just how safe a workplace is, and whetherany special precautions – such as respira-tory protection – are needed, needs to beestablished before workers enter any sortof confined space. If performed properly, a clearance measure-ment shows if toxic or explosive substancesare present in the confined space togetherwith the Oxygen content level. When assess-ing the potential danger, it is crucial to knowwhether the containers have been completelydischarged, whether they contain any impuritieswhich could release gases and whether anyhazardous substances could ingress the space.

Clearance measurements in facilities demandspecialist knowledge involving the selectionand application of suitable measurementmethods. Assessment of the measurementresults can only be adequately performed ifa person has the relevant expertise, meaningthat thorough training and understanding ofthis specialist task is essential. The two-day seminar prepares participantsfor this complex and highly responsible task.It is designed for personnel who are requiredto carry out measurement duties for theprotection of personnel and facilities. Noparticular prior knowledge is required toparticipate in this seminar.

Detailed course contents- Treatment of hazardous substances - Enabling participants to identify and

assess hazards posed by toxic andcombustible gases and vapours andby a shortage of oxygen

- Selection of appropriate measurementmethods

- Practical exercises in the use of differentmeasuring instruments

- Assessment of measurement results

WE DON'T OPERATE COURSES WHICH BEGIN WITH THE WORDS: "IMAGINE YOU ARE

A …". SAFETY DEMANDS PRACTICAL TRAINING.

Our customers in fire brigades, industry andlocal authorities have found that nothing canbeat highly realistic training. In real-life situ-ations, simply knowing about the correctprocedures is not enough. In your everydaywork and, even more importantly, in an emer-gency, only those skills gained throughrealistic practice will come naturally.

Nipping hazardous situations in the bud. To give you the best possible preparation foryour work, Dräger has developed a series oftraining courses for personnel and management

as a key element of hazard prevention in theworkplace.

With fire extinguisher training courses andexercises to teach participants how to behavein hazard situations, our aim is to give youhighly realistic preparation for emergencyscenarios. We can also teach you how tohandle measurement equipment and respi-ratory protective devices, and how to serviceequipment – giving you so much practicethat you'll be more or less able to do the jobwith your eyes closed!

Our courses broaden your training horizon.
