Training Course

Confined Space Entry with Rescue is an 8-hour course. Confined Space Entry without Rescue is also available and is 4-hours in length. This extremely flexible program can help employers meet OSHA and other federal and state regulatory requirements for training employees how to safely enter and work around confined spaces at work.

Many workplaces in general industry contain spaces that are considered to be confined because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter into, work, and exit from them. Employees who work in confined spaces frequently encounter increased risk of exposure to serious physical injury from hazards such as entrapment, engulfment, and hazardous atmospheric conditions. Confinement itself may pose hazards such as restricted airflow or an asphyxiating atmosphere that employees would not be exposed to in an open workplace. This training provides requirements for the practices and procedures to protect employees and all contractors from the hazards of entry into permit-required confined spaces.

Entry into all vessels, tanks, sumps, sewer manholes, pump pits or any other confined space with limited or restricted egress and potential for hazards being present requires a confined space permit. Spaces more than 4 feet deep are generally considered confined spaces.
