OSHA's standard for confined spaces, Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.146 "Permit-Required Confined Spaces," effective April 15, 1993, contains the requirements for practices and procedures to protect employees in general industry from the hazards of entry into permit-required confined spaces (i.e., permit spaces). The standard requires employers to develop a written confined space entry permit program and provide employee training.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?

Employees who may enter confined spaces with potential hazards are required to receive confined space safety training.

The use of the Remote Instructor concept is required by OSHA for this program. They specifically mandate that a qualified Instructor be available to answer questions and with our format, you have that. Many online or video-based courses don't meet the regulations. Take advantage of our Remote Instructor concept and learn important lessons that will help to make you safer in your job.
