  • Understand the scope & application of OSHA’s various confined space entry standards (We go over this briefly in this course) refer to Confined Space Awareness on our website! Confine Space Awareness | Advanced Safety & Training
  • Identify “Confined Spaces”, then determine if they are “Permit Required”(We go over this briefly in this course) refer to Confined Space Awareness on our website! Confine Space Awareness | Advanced Safety & Training
  • Comprenda los requisitos de OSHA para desarrollar y mantener un “programa de ingreso a espacios confinados que requiere permiso”
  • Conozca las responsabilidades de los entrantes, asistentes, supervisores de entrada, contratistas
  • Identifique cuándo puede utilizar los procedimientos de “Entrada alternativa” y “Reclasificación” de OSHA

Several benefits are anticipated with the implementation of the Confined Space Entry Program. Prevention of illnesses and injuries related to entry and/or work in permit-required confined spaces. Overall improvement of the company’s Safety Program. Improvement of employer-employee relations by establishing regular lines of communication.

Provides Emergency Awareness 

If your employees don’t have the proper training, they won’t know the clear signs of emergencies in Confine Space Awareness | Advanced Safety & Training Oxygen levels of 19.5 percent or less may cause rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, clumsiness, fatigue, and emotional upset. As oxygen further decreases, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, collapse, seizures or convulsions, and coma occur, and eventually cause death.  Atmospheric Testing – Confined Space | Advanced Safety & Training

In just a few minutes, unconsciousness or death may occur following exposure to carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, or other asphyxiants. If your employees are trained, they’ll know how to assess themselves and their colleagues if they have very low oxygen levels and the actionable steps they need to do.

Here are the things confined space training can teach your employees:

  • Learn how to recognize potential hazards in restricted or confined spaces
  • Implementation of risk control measures
  • Choose, utilize, test, store, and fit personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Learn about a confined space entry permit
  • Procedimientos de emergencia
