Confined space working is taken very
seriously by the British Airports
Authority. In addition to those who are
required to work in service subways,
manholes and drains, the engineers
and managers who issue the permits
are also required to undergo confined
space training. To ensure as realistic an
environment as possible, the BAA
Rescue Services Team at London
Heathrow uses Draeger's purposebuilt
Training Centre at Blyth.
Craig Sear, at London's Heathrow, explains, "We believe that our senior maintenance managers and airport duty engineers should be trained to the same level as the people to whom they issue confined space working permits. This ensures that they not only understand the environment but they also understand the hazards and the complications that can arise."
