The trainee will be given their own rescue harness, this harness as a rescue loop that will allow the person to be attached to a connector to be lowered down into the confined space via a tripod or rescue davit. The trainee will be shown how to conduct safe level checks for any harmful gases using a gas monitor that could cause issues when going into the confined space. The trainee then will be introduced to using Escape sets and their purposes and how to use them. Also, the trainee will be introduced to the different BA (Breathing Apparatus Sets) that could / will be used in different confined space work / situations. The trainee will be shown how to clean / check the equipment for damage before use.
