Confined Space Simulator

The Energy Training Institute provides a mobile training simulator that is the most up-to-date and unique simulation unit of its kind in Canada. During training, the participants will be given problems to solve which will be specific to actual work and rescue scenarios. The unit comes equipped with some of the latest in confined space equipment safety and rescue, including:
  • Six Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and spare cylinders
  • Two Supplied Air Breathing Apparatus (SABA)
  • Three bottle cascade recharging system
  • 12 confined space specific fully body harnesses
  • One Stokes Litter Rescue Basket
  • One SKED Stretcher
  • 4 Infrared Cameras to monitor and record participant's progress
  • Rope and Hauling Devices
  • Command Centre for technology and communications
  • One Tripod Rescue System for elevated rescues

The unit is designed with seven distinct exercise chambers to allow the trainee to experience varying degrees of difficulty while being exposed to instructor controlled and monitored hazards. The walls of the training unit are made of medium gauge flat steel, as well as the sliding doors and gates for added safety and interactive learning capabilities while enabling the trainee and trainer to view one another.


    Potashcorp Rocanville sent one employee to evaluate Southeast Regional College's new confined space unit. Comments are as follows:

    An impressive unit that is an asset to the area to provide much needed confined space training due to the amount of oil activity, mining, etc. that is occurring in this part of the province. The trailer is a well designed unit with the adaptability to convert to different training scenarios. We felt the unit would provide the ability to set up our worst case scenarios that would be encountered on our plant site (dark or smoke filled, tight or small areas, etc.). We feel this unit will be a valuable training tool for us to train our Emergency Response employees in confined space rescue.
