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 1926.1207, 29 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.
