Confined Space Entry Training Course
Approved

Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered to be "confined" because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter into, work in or exit from them. In many instances, employees who work in confined spaces also face increased risk of exposure to serious physical injury from hazards such as entrapment, engulfment and hazardous atmospheric conditions.

Overview

Confinement itself may pose entrapment hazards and working in confined spaces may keep employees closer to hazards such as machinery components than they would be otherwise. For example, confinement, limited access, and restricted airflow can result in hazardous conditions that would not normally arise in an open workplace.

Keep in mind: Most permit-space accidents happen for the following reasons:

Workers have not been properly trained to recognize permit-space hazards.
Hazards are not eliminated or controlled before workers enter the space.
Rescuers are inexperienced or improperly trained.

Learning Outcomes:

This course has been developed to explain basic requirements detailed within OSHA General Industry Standard 29 CFR 1910.146, permit-required Confined Spaces, which will assist employers in establishing and maintaining an effective confined space program.
