Confined Space and Asphyxiant Resources


These Confined Space and Asphyxiant resources are the result of a creative sentencing project in partnership with the Government of Alberta and an energy servicing company, that includes three modules spanning 2023-2026.

Module 1 - Incident Re-creation video​

A re-creation of the events that led to the deaths of 3 workers by asphyxiation in a confined space. A Facilitation Guide is available to lead video discussions as well as a bowtie visual identifying incident-related threats and consequences.

Module 2 – Confined Space & Asphyxiant Hazards Video Series​

Four 5-minute videos will outline the different types of asphyxiants, where they can be found in the energy industry, the hazards they present and the controls required to protect workers.

Under development – 2024 launch

Module 3- Confined Spaces – Guidance to Build Capacity

Self-paced learning segments covering all aspects of confined space work that will take learners 1.5 to 3 hours to complete and address the safe planning and execution of this type of work.

Under development – 2025/26 launch
