October 7, 2009 - Confined-space training unit launched
WAM Training is proud to unveil the first of its mobile confined-space entry and working-at-heights training units.
The unit was specially built over several months to deliver WAM’s training services in a safe and controlled environment – onsite at workplaces or off-site where needed.
Featuring three separate compartments, the unit allows for a full range of hands-on rescue and breathing apparatus entry and exit training. The unit was cleverly designed to also simulate rescues at substantial heights and practice working in confined spaces.
Dubbed “Mobile One”, the unit lets WAM Training expand its range of confined spaces-related courses and conduct those courses across the state - without risk. It further puts WAM Training at the forefront of construction industry training in Victoria.
“We wanted to provide greater flexibility and mobility to our clients – whilst maintaining and delivering a great service to customers,” said WAM’s training manager, Steve Horbec.
“It’s all about meeting industry best practice and giving our customers and staff a safe environment to conduct such training, and greater choices for our clients,” he said.
A second mobile unit is due to be completed next January. The launch of Mobile One comes after the opening last month of WAM Training’s new administrative office in Drouin, south-east of Melbourne.
This unit gives us total flexibility in delivering a fantastic training product where ever we need to.
