COURSE OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES

OSHA states that employers must provide confined space entry program if your employees are to enter permit-required confined spaces.

One of the major elements of a confined space entry program is to provide confined space training for all employees that are required to perform work tasks in a confined space.

The Safety One Confined Space Training course provides an overview of the hazards related to confined spaces and how to mitigate them, as well as best practices and procedures that will keep you safe and compliant.

Learn from the experience of our professional rescue instructors and decide which application works best for your situation through hands on practice of various scenario-based exercises.

Students will gain an understanding of confined spaces, and cover tricks of the trade from various industries that are proven to save lives.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive the Safety One Certification and will be able to:

• Understand the elements of Permit-Required Confined Spaces Regulations
• Understand the differences between permit required vs. non-permit required confined spaces
• Identify and evaluate confined space hazards: atmospheric, physical, chemical, and mechanical
• Perform basic atmospheric testing, ventilation and continuous monitoring
• Entry and exit processes
• Apply manual versus mechanical rescue systems and methods

COURSE DURATION: One to Three Day (Course length depends on certification and level of training desired)
