That's hot!

Hot Zone Training Consultants has a creative way of making a point. At the Health and Safety Canada 2008 trade show, the Cambridge, Ont.-based training firm featured two young men with facial prosthetics that show burnt faces. Hot Zone’s Peter White says part of what his company offers is integrating realistic types of injuries into the actual training programs. White says the company has just opened a new training facility in Cambridge to complement its on-site training for customers. The new training school includes a confined space rescue simulator, where clients can come in and practice vertical and horizontal rescues, he says.

Training-to-go

The Municipal Health and Safety Association conducts confined space training for municipal emergency services, such as the fire service, police and paramedics, according to John Parish, chief of emergency services for the association. A 40-foot container sitting on a flatbed trailer serves as the MHSA’s confined space mobile training unit that travels throughout the province to bring training to the client. The interior of the container has been built to simulate actual confined space conditions, with piping, chambers and flumes for realistic hands-on training, the MHSA says.
