Description

Confined spaces on construction sites can be some of the most dangerous and often overlooked places to work. Between 2011 and 2018, there were 1,030 worker deaths from occupational injuries involving confined spaces in the US. This course provides the practical tools and knowledge needed to stay safe, follow regulations, and confidently manage confined space work under OSHA 1926 Subpart AA.This course clarifies what defines a confined space, how to identify hazards before they become life-threatening, and outlines individual roles, whether entering the space, maintaining watch, or supervising operations. You'll learn about permit procedures, atmosphere monitoring for hazards such as oxygen deficiency, toxic gases like hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide, and explosive gases, as well as emergency protocols, ensuring everyone's safety.Confined space hazards are often silent and invisible, but training equips workers with the knowledge and confidence to correctly assess risks and prevent tragedies. By taking this course, you'll gain the skills to recognize potential dangers, understand safety protocols, and contribute to a safer work environment. Whether a worker, foreman, or safety lead, this course promotes the importance of confined space safety and helps ensure it is done correctly every time. Enhance your safety expertise and protect yourself and your team.
