In the Marine industry it is recognised that Enclosed Space problems coupled with increasing accident rates cannot be ignored and there is very little existing specialist assistance, training or advice available. Mines Rescue Marine are now offering a consultancy service to the Marine industry which can provide your company with access to specialist advice in relation to your Enclosed Space problems. We are available to visit your company, ship or platform, and consult on any particular problem you may have, as well as advising on your training and/or equipment requirements.

Consultancy Services

Enclosed Space Design and Modification

A major cause of injury and death in an Enclosed Space, especially tanks, is the fact that proper consideration may not have been given to the actual design of these spaces for the safety of those entering, working and, in the event of emergency, being rescued from them. Mines Rescue Marine offers consultancy in new ship design to help improve the safety of crew in these spaces or, indeed, current ship enclosed space modification to help overcome existing problems.

Enclosed Space Training Consultancy

As an acknowledged expert in Enclosed Space problems and training, we offer training at our own or at our customers’ sites. We also specialise in bespoke ‘in-house’ Enclosed Space training courses. Module design and equipment can be provided for the establishment of such courses. In addition, we are an approved centre for City and Guilds 6150 Qualifications. Company in-house courses can be audited by Mines Rescue Marine and if suitable, the appropriate certificates issued.

Equipment Consultancy

There is a considerable amount of equipment on the market designed for the numerous hazards connected with Enclosed Space situations. It is therefore easy to order and be supplied with the wrong equipment, or equipment not suitable for a particular problem. Mines Rescue Marine exhaustively tests equipment for their own Training Centres and before use by their own Entry and Rescue Teams. Only after such tests will Mines Rescue Marine supply this equipment through its online equipment catalogue. Where standard equipment cannot be used or is unsuitable for the task, specialised equipment can be designed that will be suitable for the purpose.

We will be pleased to visit your Company to discuss any particular problem which may require advice.

Investigation & Analysis Services

Expert Accident Analysis

The Company also offers confidential expert investigation of any Enclosed Space accident or incident, providing an analysis and, where required, recommendations for future prevention.
