The Guyana Water Inc (GWI), has embarked on a total revamp of the company’s confined spaces safety arrangements to protect its staff from the hazards of these working environments.
According a press release from the GWI, the process began in February and to date, all 15 members of the Sanitation Unit, who make up the confined space entry and rescue teams, have received intensive training on newly acquired safety devices. These devices include air-purifying and supplied air respirator systems, portable resuscitators, MSA Altair 5 gas monitors, and full body fall arrest harnesses.
