Best Place to get Confined
Space Training in Ontario
ACUTE customers continue to make our courses and trainers their number one resource in confined space training. Here are 7 great reasons why they have chosen ACUTE and keep coming back for more.
1 – The Quickest and Most Effective Place to Get Trained
The most efficient way to get trained and to meet regulatory requirements is to engage a MLITSD trusted provider that meets curriculum and eligibility standards. This ensures that the government will recognize the training experience of your team. Despite meeting regulation, however, your staff may still be at risk without experienced trainers to help them stay one step ahead of confined space hazards. This is accomplished by ensuring your team focuses on the key topics that will make an impact when their day-to-day work exposes them to confined space risks. Our trainers have insight into the common hazards for each industry and can quickly offer best practices that empower employees to be safety champions at their workplace. Completing all of our confined space training can take 4 days, bringing your team from novices to competency quickly, as opposed to other sets of training that can extend to a week or more. Though some companies may have you believe online safety training has its merits, it has been shown that hands-on is always better.

2 – Tailored Training for Each Unique Learning Style
ACUTE recognizes that cookie-cutter delivery of advanced technical content is not effective without empowering each unique learning style for optimized information retention. ACUTE’s confined space training offers the right mix to help each type of learner on your team to remember and enact the training that they receive. ACUTE has tailored content for a variety of learning styles including, but not limited to:
- Visual or multimedia learners
- Hands-on learners
- Dialogue-driven learners
- Academic learners
- One-to-one learners
ACUTE knows how to make the most of each learning style so the training actually has an impact on your team, enabling them to retain and apply what they have learned.
3 – Training that Meets and Positions for Future Compliance
Our trainers and staff have an in-depth knowledge of the relevant legislation stipulated for confined space training, for example:
- Regulation 632/05
- Regulation 213/91: Section 221
- Regulation 851: Section 119
- OHSA: Section 25(2)(A),(D), and (H)
ACUTE’s training helps employees and supervisors ensure compliance, providing best practices in the tight spots where operational demands and legislation may seem to be at odds. Our team also has industry foresight into how legislation will evolve. ACUTE trainers have a keen sense of where regulations are going and are dedicated to ensuring that the confined space training provided will help position your team to be compliant now and also in the future.

4 – Hands-on Training for Confined Space Safety Equipment
A key factor in doing work in confined spaces effectively and safely is knowledge and experience with industry-leading tools. ACUTE’s training not only provides hands-on training where trainers walk through the best uses for each type of relevant equipment, but also offers them a chance to use and familiarize themselves with it. Using a kinesthetic approach, learners are given an opportunity to develop experience and familiarity with the tools that will help them secure safety for themselves and their team. Some examples of interaction with confined space equipment include:
- Performing inspections and testing of confined space entry and rescue equipment
- Calibrating and performing pre-use testing of air quality monitoring equipment
- Demonstration and hands-on training in the inspection, care, and use of personal protective and rescue equipment
- Employing victim packaging techniques and equipment
Make sure the team knows the right tools for the right job by getting training that uses real tools and trains employees for real hazards and situations.
5 – Trainers Teaching Values and Field-Tested Experience
The ACUTE team has 100 years of combined experience providing a depth and insight to trainees. Having an experienced instructor who has been in the same shoes as your employees will help students identify scenarios that they may not have yet encountered. Through real-life illustrations, instructors help ground technical knowledge with real-world applications. Experienced instructors serve as mentors for your employees during the training and also help to accelerate employees along the learning curve. Experience trainers also have insight into where students typically struggle to acquire and apply certain concepts. If training is not applied within the first 3 weeks of training the value is usually lost. ACUTE trainers help provide guidance to your health and safety committee to monitor and encourage training effectiveness even once the session is wrapped up.
6 – ACUTE Helps you Look at the Big Picture
The team understands that health and safety aren’t built off of one stellar training course, and recognizes that to promote an effective and safe work culture, a comprehensive view must be taken. ACUTE not only comes to deliver piecemeal training solutions but also advises companies on developing a comprehensive and effective health and safety program. ACUTE helps organizations get the most informed confined space training and offers best practices on how to integrate this with the health and safety program at your workplace, including planning, execution, and monitoring. Customers can expect an integrated approach to empowering your health and safety program rather than offering one-size-fits-all training. We provide guidance on what equipment should be invested in, how communication should occur for incidents, and bulletins on new workplace changes that expose your team to additional confined space hazards. Based on assessments and surveys we can also help you identify health and safety champions that can be an influence for positive health and wellness promotion at your workplace. The big picture is important, but it starts with the small detail of the right training.
