State-of-the-art mobile training unit enables training at your site

The Unit

The Confined Space Entry Mobile Training Unit from Arco Training and Consultancy enables confined space, face fit and breathing apparatus training, with both theoretical and practical training, to take place at your site.

• Cost saving: no expense incurred by trainees attending an external venue

• Minimal disruption: time that trainees are away from site is minimised

• Rapid set-up: from arrival on site, the self-sufficient unit can be up and running in 15 minutes.

Highly realistic training scenarios The unit incorporates state-of-the-art technologies throughout to simulate different industrial confined space scenarios, safely. The flexible and controlled environment ensures trainees are immersed in a highly realistic and effective learning experience. The unit is completely customisable to recreate a wide variety of industrial settings and to deliver training suitable to all levels of experience.

Accredited, non-accredited and bespoke trainingDesigned to accommodate a variety of industry confined space standards, this new unit incorporates advanced technology and can be used for accredited training including all levels of City and Guilds approved courses, non-accredited and bespoke training. The courses delivered from the unit are designed around real-life confined space incident scenarios. They are structured to develop the skills of trainees that would be required when entering confined spaces or when planning and undertaking escape or rescue. During a course, trainees will need to: work as a team; communicate with each other; use rescue equipment correctly; plan and undertake escape and rescue.

Practical training covers actual entry, suitability checks (i.e. for claustrophobia), selection and use of equipment, developing a safe working system, and the initiation of self-rescue or full rescue. Practical experience in simulations and exercises will give trainees the necessary skills and confidence needed to work in confined space environments.

Face fit testing and trainingThe unit is fully equipped to deliver onsite face fit testing and breathing apparatus training on sites such as oil refineries, petrochemical plants and power stations.

Advanced trainingOur team also has experience in delivering more in-depth rescue courses covering trauma assessment and realistic rescue scenarios.

Refresher trainingThere isn’t a specified time in which confined space training has to be renewed, however employers should always ensure that their employees are not only trained in the relevant skills, but remain competent in them after a period of time. It is recommended that Confined Space Entry Refresher Training is provided at least three years after the initial training.

Additional servicesIn addition to training, the mobile unit is ideal for planned maintenance such as shutdown and outage. It can be used in situ, for face fit testing during pre-outage and outage.

1. Rapid set-up of self-sufficient unit

• 240v internal and external power supply: powers all facilities in the fully contained unit

• 110v power for lighting and equipment

• Automatic, retractable handrail system: safety handrail around top of vehicle ensures speedy set-up and a safe working environment

• Retractable, extendable support legs: ensure a stable working platform

• External awning: provides weather protection at the exterior of the unit

2. Live monitoring and videoing of training

• Infra-red cameras: are installed in the training tunnels, feeding to onboard internal and external LCD viewing screens

• Internal and external viewing screens: allow continual monitoring of all activity and shared learning with delegates outside the tunnel system

• Colour video recording: all training within the unit is recorded to allow for post-training debriefing and discussion. Recorded content can be downloaded and supplied if required

• Microphone address system: enables live instruction from the trainer to the delegates whilst in the unit

3. Realistic simulation of industrial environments

• Onboard sound system and noise programmes: feeding simulated background noise, such as running water, into all tunnel areas enables the demonstration of model scenarios and creates a realistic environment

• Different light levels: dimmable LED lights throughout, to simulate different environments and to facilitate training of both novice and advanced users

• Smoke: spaces can be filled with smoke to facilitate training that will simulate conditions where rescue from fire may be likely

5. Horizontal entry

• 30 metres of internal tunnels: horizontal shafts and tunnels featuring a flexible configuration with removable ladders and panels to provide a varying layout and create alternative training scenarios

• Constructed over two levels: creating a network of scrambling tunnels

• Emergency escape doors and hatches: are located throughout the tunnel system

• Isolation points: the unit contains features which may need to be located in a real situation, such as isolation for electricity, and mechanical isolation for chemicals

4. Vertical entry

• Over 3 metre vertical access shaft: to meet all current accreditation standards

• Internal stairway access: to roof-mounted external training platform

• Safety handrail system: creates a fully enclosed, safe platform for training

• Non-slip safety deck: allows training to be undertaken safely in wet or damp conditions

6. Face fit testing and breathing apparatus

• Face fit testing area

• Respiratory protection and breathing apparatus maintenance area and training

• Onboard locker storage for breathing apparatus and training equipment

7. Equipment supplied

• Life-size training dummy

• Tripod and winch: with full harness and rescue system

• Breathing apparatus

• Gas monitors

• Rescue equipment for stretcher rescue
