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 “permitrequired”
and “non-permit required.” It teaches the proper
labeling for confined spaces; how to complete a confined space
entry and a hot-work permit.
NOTE: Certificates of attendence will be issued to all
attendees.
