This confined space rescue training trailer (pictured below) ensures that all course participants are able to undergo practical confined space entry activities in a realistic and safe environment. Our trailer is over 4.0m long and 2.0m high and can be taken anywhere in Australia. In fact we have 4 trailers across VIC, NSW, SA & QLD that can be used for various confined space training courses. This trailer is used to replicate realistic confined space training and confined space rescue scenarios.

Prior to your confined space rescue training course occurring, we will request a copy of your confined space rescue training policies, confined space rescue procedures, confined space safety procedures and confined space rescue plans. By having a copy of your confined space rescue procedures and plans before we conduct the confined space training, our trainers are able to customize and tailor the confined space training course directly to your requirements.
