Entry into Enclosed Spaces - Part 1 Awareness

Videotel Marine International has recently joined forces with Mines Rescue Marine to produce and launch a brand new training package entitles ‘Entry into Enclosed Spaces Series'.

Accidental death at sea is both tragic and distressing; especially when the death could have been avoided by following the correct procedures or having the right equipment. For this reason, Videotel and Mines Rescue Marine have engaged in developing a comprehensive programme in order to highlight the safety procedures that must be followed to ensure safety of crew at all times.

Part 1. Awareness - Shows how to recognise the enclosed spaces on board ship, and raises awareness of the hazards, with a special focus on oxygen deficiency as the most common cause of deaths in enclosed spaces. This programme also introduces the range of safeguards that exist to protect against accidents and injuries in enclosed spaces.
