Confined Space
Entry
Overview
Across various industries, workers are often required to enter confined spaces - areas not designed for continuous occupancy and limited means for entry and exit. These spaces, due to their design and potential for hazardous atmospheres, present unique risks. Mishandling a confined space entry can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Proper knowledge, training, and equipment are essential for ensuring the safety of personnel involved in these operations.
A confined space might include tanks, silos, storage bins, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, and other similar areas. Hazards in these spaces can range from lack of oxygen, presence of toxic gasses, engulfment risks, to physical dangers like moving parts.
What You'll Learn
This course is designed to equip participants with the comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary to safely perform a confined space entry. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize potential hazards associated with confined space entry
- Understand the importance and process of obtaining a confined space entry permit
- Determine atmospheric conditions using testing and monitoring equipment
- Implement safety procedures for entry, work, and exit from confined spaces
- Utilize appropriate rescue and emergency procedures in the event of an incident
- Properly select and use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and entry equipment
