    “I think it’s important to note that confined spaces include a full spectrum of hazards, and all of them seem to be amplified because of the spaces,” Gilmour said. “Some of the hazards are a bit more obvious than others . . . but sometimes they are not so obvious, which I believe leads to a failure to classify a place as a confined space.”

    Given the existence of so many adrenalin junkies and dubious safety training companies pushing their brand of confined space rescue training, it is really refreshing to see Peter Gilmour and WorkSafeBC telling it like it really is.
