ESC - Confined Space Entry
This training is for those who plan on working at an oil sands specific work site. Otherwise, Western Canada Fire & First Aid Inc. (WCFF) offers an Occupation Health & Safety (OH&S) compliant Confined Space Entry course.
Confined space work involves some of the most critical hazards in the oil and gas industry, so it is critical to understand and plan for them before starting work.
