Introduction to Confined Space Hazards Training

Confined spaces are dangerous and account for over 100 deaths a year in the US, with 60% of those being rescuers who rushed in to help the first victim. Workers in confined spaces are at risk and must follow strict protocols. They should be fully aware about the possible hazards and precautions to ensure safety. Our confined space hazard training course covers the basics and strategies to identify, assess and manage hazards in confined spaces and provides workers with OSHA certification through a specialized safety training program.

Upon completion of the Confined Spaces Awareness training program, workers will be able to:

Identify Confined Space Hazards:

Identify hazards and understand the risks of working in confined spaces, physical dangers, environmental hazards such as toxic substances and oxygen deficiency.

Develop and Implement Safety Measures:

Implement safety procedures for working in confined spaces to consider all necessary precautions.

Execute Incident Response and Rescue:

Execute emergency response and rescue plans to deal with incidents to ensure safe rescues.
