G8 CAPACITACIONES, the best option for training in heigth safety, confined spaces, rescue and evacuation

Accidents due to falls from height are one of the main causes of death at work in many countries. The training and awareness of workers in all areas in height safety, which is the solid basis of our knowledge and training, is key to reducing the accident rate. Our trainers, engineers and preventionists provide theoretical and practical courses in the areas of height safety, confined space, rescue, and evacuation among other courses.

The training follows the ECRA ANETVA standards, the European Directive 2001/45/CE on “Specific provisions on the use of rope access and positioning techniques” and the NCh1258 “Personal Protective Equipment for work involving the risk of falling” and other local and international regulations applicable in each case.

We have an important collaboration agreement with the Chilean Safety Association so that companies affiliated to the main Chilean mutual society can access industrial safety training courses.

We have modern training centers with a practice tower, vertical progression areas, confined space and chimney simulator, lifeline assembly and rescue maneuver areas, classrooms, etc., and everything necessary to provide specialized training that faithfully simulates the industrial reality, and the risks present in the workplace.

A true mobile operations center

The possibility for our instructors to travel to our clients on request, with the necessary training material and our mobile training tower, allows us to offer a global service in any part of the country.

Carrying out the training in the workplace allows the worker to feel the training in a closer and more similar way to the real work environment. In addition, in a reciprocal way, the trainer becomes familiar with the place and the type of work that is carried out on site, being able to evaluate specific situations of their daily work.

The tower is made up of a self-supporting modular scaffolding-type structure, with four levels of height, a vertical ladder attached to one side and a span generated on level 3, from which vertical ascent and descent practices are carried out. In this way, it manages to simulate the different scenarios that the assistants may encounter during their routine work.
The entire structure weighs approximately 2,000 kilos and is transported in a lorry throughout Chile as G8 CAPACITACIONES‘s itinerant operations center.
