About this Class

In this course, you’ll learn how OSHA's new confined space regulations affect construction workers and the pitfalls surrounding the proper designation of workplaces. Including how the type of work conducted determines which regulations (general industry or construction) OSHA will use and how that affects the worker and employer, including multi-employer worksites, how employers manage these sites, and what training employees have for entering confined spaces on Multi-Employer sites. 

 

To comply with federal regulations, OSHA requires employers and employees to be knowledgeable in all aspects of worker health and safety before and during a confined space entry. These regulations apply to workers in the construction industry (as defined by OSHA and ANSI/ASSE standards).

 

OSHA’s ability to widen the enforcement to include federal regulations and national standards (related to the type of site your employees work on) can have a demonstrable effect on your risk management approach, especially when they are not widely understood.

 

We designed this informative, self-paced training to allow participants the opportunity to gain knowledge and comprehension regarding confined space safe entry while providing a thorough understanding of government regulations and how to follow the appropriate recognized, safe industry practices.

 

CERTIFICATION: Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive a Certificate of Completion (suitable for framing) under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.120729 CFR 1910.146, AND ANSI/ASSE Z117.1-209 plus a wallet identification card.

 

Employers are responsible for providing follow-up training specific to each site's hazards before entry, including health hazards, PPE, and other risks you may encounter at worksites that fall within the scope of the employer’s operations. Or call us and sign up for our onsite training, and we will do it for you!

Learning Objectives

 

Upon successful completion of the Confined Space Entry Course, students will learn:

  • How OSHA’s new confined space regulations affect construction workers and the pitfalls surrounding the proper designation of workplaces
  • How the type of work conducted determines which regulations (general industry or construction) OSHA will use and how that affects the worker and employer
  • OSHA’s focus on multi-employer worksites, how OSHA expects employers to manage these sites, and what training employees must have for entering confined spaces on Multi-Employer sites
  • How existing and potential confined space hazards can negatively affect worker safety and health
  • How precautionary and preventative measures can be taken to help protect workers from some of the most common confined space hazards 


REQUIRED TIME TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE: 4 to 6 hours 

NOTE: It is impossible to identify evaluate in advance every confined space or all the possible risks that may be present in the space and/or the worksite. This training course was designed to complement the employer's site-specific policies and training and should not be considered a field guide or the only authoritative source on the subject. This course should be augmented by employer-provided, site-specific, hands-on training.

Prerequisites: NONE 

Course Outline

Overview:
Our newly-updated Confined Space Entry training course takes the mystery out of Confined Spaces, and brings clarity to workers in Confined Space operations.
The course builds upon the basics of Confined Spaces, such as OSHA Standards and nationally-recognized institutions that govern Confined Space procedures. We then define the types of Confined Spaces, which leads to specific requirements upon Employers to classify the Space, evaluate its hazards, and identify methods for controlling those hazards prior to Entry into the Confined Space.
This course includes a comparison of the General Industry Standard with the revised Construction Standard’s Subpart AA, which strengthened Confined Space requirements as part of OSHA’s continuing efforts to improve worker protection.

FAQs

What is Confined Space Training?Confined Space Entry Training teaches students how to identify a permit or non-permit required confined space, proper PPE to use, and how to enter or rescue someone in a confined space.

Does Confined Space Entry Training require refresher training?Per OSHA, œAfter the training, employers must ensure that the employees have acquired the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform their duties safely. Additional training is required when: the job duties change; A change occurs in the permit space program, or the permit space operation presents any new hazard; an employee’s job performance shows deficiencies.

What is a confined space?According to OSHA, a Confined Space is a space with limited entry and egress that is not suitable for human inhabitants.

What is the OSHA standard for Confined Space Entry Training?OSHA's standard for confined spaces 29 CFR 1910.146 contains the requirements for practices and procedures to protect employees in general from the hazards of entering permit spaces. Employers must evaluate their workplaces to determine if spaces are permit spaces or not.
