The Confined Space Manhole training prop is a result of the Partners In Safety program created between Con Edison and
the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services Training Center.
This training prop is an actual Con Edison underground electric vault placed above ground for training purposes. The work platform on top is reached by a rear set of stairs to a diamond plated work surface, surrounded by a safety rail. A manhole cover is centered on this platform for entrance into to vault. The inside is a duplication of an underground electric vault including wall racks, brackets, cables and wires.
Rescue training performed on this prop allows the firefighters, EMS workers and Con Edison personnel the true feeling of working inside an electric vault. The front of the vault has an observation widow cut into the concrete which allows instructors to observe the training evolutions. |
