Many workplaces contain spaces that OSHA considers "confined" because their dimensions hinder the movement of employees who must enter and work in them. Those who enter confined spaces risk entrapment and suffocation, or, in some cases, exposure to toxic gases, explosions, or moving machinery. If an accident occurs, the responding fire, EMT, or police personnel face the same dangers.
Public entities are required to provide training so that their employees who work in a confined space have the knowledge and skills they need to safely perform their jobs.
You will learn:
This training and education program will teach participants how to identify a confined space, and to distinguish between those that are “permit-required” and “non-permit required.” It teaches the proper labeling for confined spaces, and how to complete a confined space entry and a hot-work permit.
This training and education program is designed for:
"More than 60% of confined space fatalities occur among would-be rescuers; therefore, a well-designed and properly executed rescue plan is a must."
