This six (6) hour confined space entry course is designed to provide your staff the opportunity to practice their new knowledge using a scenario based approach. With this hands-on practice the students work through several scenarios from start to finish including assessing the space, controlling the hazards and even conducting non-entry rescue techniques.

Our course includes instruction on the following items:

 Introduction and Definitions of OSHA CFR 1910.146.

 Atmospheric Hazards and Testing Procedures

 Atmospheric control measures such as ventilation, purging and respiratory protection.

 Introduction to other physical confined space hazards

 Hazard control measures and entry procedures

 Emergency procedures and non-entry rescue techniques

 Permit system introduction and practice

 Hands on practice and non-entry rescue practice

A confined space has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and it is not designed for continuous occupancy. These spaces include, but are not limited to underground vaults, tanks, storage bins, manholes, pits, silos, process vessels, and pipelines.

OSHA uses the term "permit-required confined space" to describe a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics:

 contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere;

 contains a material that has the potential to engulf an entrant;

 has walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward and taper into a smaller area which could trap or asphyxiate an entrant;

 or contains any other recognized safety or health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or heat stress
