Goal and Objectives

To establish and maintain a safe environment for personnel performing confined space entry work. Help workers to recognize what a confined space is, to identify the associated hazards and to clearly understand that they should NEVERenter a confined space unless they have received appropriate training and the entry is in accordance with the employer’s written confined space entry program.
A confined space workplace emergency situation may generate spontaneous reactions that may lead to multiple fatalities. It is critical that workers know they should NEVERenter a confined space to rescue someone unless they are qualified Confined Space Rescue personnel. CALL 911 immediately! Don’t waste time.
