COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Confined spaces are inherently hazardous and not meant for continuous occupancy. Confined space incidents can be deadly.

That is because the hazards tend to be misunderstood or underestimated. And many confined space facilities involve not one, but two victims: the worker and the rescuer.

To fully understand the health and safety risks of entering and working in confined spaces, workers are required to take confined space entry training in compliance with OSHA requirements.
