About the Demonstration

Confined Space Rescue Demonstration: Operations is the second in our Confined Space Rescue Series. This demonstration will provide you with the theory to operate at the NFPA confined space rescue operations level. As rescue is a skill-based event this theory course needs to be matched with skill-based follow up training prior to you trying this on your own.
