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.
