LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Many workplaces contain spaces that OSHA considers "confined"
because their dimensions hinder movement of employees who
must enter and work in them. Those who enter confined spaces
risk entrapment and suffocation, or, in some cases, exposure to
toxic gases, explosions, or moving machinery. If an accident
occurs, the responding fire, EMT, or police personnel face the
same dangers.Public entities are required to provide training so that their
employees who work in a confined space have the knowledge
and skills they need to safely perform their jobs.
You will learn:
- The difference between "non-permit required" and
"permit-required" confined spaces, as defined by OSHA.
- Entry hazards, including information on mode, signs and
symptoms, and consequences of exposure.
- Equipment used for confined space entry, including PPE,
ventilation devices, and atmospheric testing devices.
- Entry procedures for both types of spaces, including duties
for authorized entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors.
- Proper use of equipment, and conditions and procedures to
be used during emergencies by authorized entrants.
- How attendants should monitor conditions of the space,
what conditions require evacuation, rescue services, and
how to perform non-entry rescues.
- Testing and monitoring requirements, acceptable conditions
for entry, proper permitting and entry procedures to be
followed by entry supervisors.
This workshop will teach you how to identify a confined space,
and to distinguish between those that are "permit-required"
and "non-permit required." It teaches the proper labeling for
confined spaces; how to complete a confined space entry and a
hot-work permit.
