WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?
Employees who may enter confined spaces with potential hazards are required to receive OSHA confined space safety training. This includes confined space attendants and entrants.
- Are you required to enter confined spaces?
- Do you work as an attendant in a confined space job?
- Do you work in sumps, pits, pipes, tanks, silos, or tunnels at your job?
- Do you conduct work in or enter permit-required confined spaces?
Then, you are required to take this course! Our online OSHA confined space training course is designed to comply with OSHA’s standard for confined spaces and safety procedures, Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.146 “Permit-Required Confined Spaces,” which 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 OSHA Confined Space standard requires employers to develop a written confined space entry permit program and provide employee training in confined space safety.
According to OSHA, many workplaces contain spaces that are considered “confined” because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who work in them. A confined space has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and it is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Confined spaces include vaults, tanks, storage bins, manholes, pits, silos, process vessels, and pipelines.
OSHA defines permit-required confined spaces as areas with potentially hazardous materials or atmosphere within and/or a configuration that can trap, engulf or asphyxiate. Any confined environment that poses a known safety hazard such as exposed live wires or loose material will require a signed permit for an employee to enter. It’s critical to understand the various dangers in order to ultimately save lives.

INDUSTRIES THAT REQUIRE THIS COURSE
Many industries have confined spaces in the workplace. Mining, aerospace, agriculture and emergency response are just a few examples where workers can expect to enter a confined space at any given time. Since protecting workers’ safety and averting tragedy are essential aspects of workplace guidelines and procedures, this training is essential for many workers, and some employees need it to perform their everyday duties.
WHAT REQUIREMENTS DOES THIS COURSE SATISFY?
The confined spaces course satisfies the requirements found in 29 CFR 1910.146 and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA. This course will fulfil initial training and refresher training for employees in the general and construction industry.
TOPICS COVERED
This online training course for working in confined spaces was designed to be comprehensive and offer foundational awareness on both health and occupational hazards. It also includes how the creation and continual assessment of a site-specific or employer-specific permit program helps secure personnel safety.
Within the course material, you’ll find the necessary guidelines that employees follow for all permit-required confined space programs. This includes multiple OSHA entry options to permit spaces as well as atmospheric testing and ventilation procedures for ensuring environmental safety. These are necessary topics before any worker begins tasks within confined spaces, especially for new hires.
