Training
EDS has a wide range of experienced competent teaching staff. Each member has vast experience in their field with numerous years of teaching experience.
Confined Space Training
Edwards Diving Services has been working in confined spaces for almost two decades, building up a vast knowledge during this period. The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, state that any person wishing to work in a confined space must be adequately trained. EDS Confined Space Training complies with the standard set by the HSE and a certificate will be awarded on completion of the course.
Breathing Apparatus Training
The use of breathing apparatus is essential when the oxygen level is below 19% or in areas where there are potentially harmful gasses. However without the correct training and awareness of the potential hazards the improper use can lead to a fatality. EDS has been providing breathing air to personnel entering dangerous areas such a blast furnaces and confined spaces for over 10 years. We have a wide range of breathing apparatus products and are able to provide training on all. BA training can be combined with the confined space training if arranged in advance.
Welding Training
The welding course will be run by a member of the EDS team who is an experienced and coded welder, with the practical experience and vast knowledge of theory. The welding courses include Arc and Mig training, downhand, vertical and overhead welding positions together with training on fabrication techniques using grinders and burning equipment, taylored to your specific requirements. These courses are short and high intensity to rapidly gain experience in welding, a basic knowledge of welding is expected. Longer courses are available for inexperienced welders.
Spill Kit Training
On any site where there is a risk of an oil or chemical spill with potential to cause damage to the environment the HSE recommend an Emergency Spill Control Plan. EDS has worked in the pollution control environment for many years and are able to supply training and advise on spill kit contents and practical use in the event of an emergency.
