Confined Space Safety

This health and safety course provides you with a comprehensive understanding of confined spaces and describes their characteristics and associated hazards. We explain why entering confined spaces is dangerous and identify the potential atmospheric and physical hazards they may contain. The course shows you how to identify those hazards and goes over hazard assessment techniques. We explore the defined hierarchy of controls, which is used to identify and rank safeguards, and examine elimination or substitution methods used to remove or replace hazards. We go through the steps taken to develop a confined space entry (CSE) program to ensure safe entry into such spaces.

The course explains how to perform atmospheric testing procedures and discusses the proper usage of testing equipment used to maintain a safe working environment in confined spaces. We establish the importance of a Confined Space Entry Permit and compare permit-required and non-permit-required confined spaces. This health and safety course also describes the roles and responsibilities of the entry team, which includes authorized entrants, stand-by attendants and entry supervisors. We also discuss different types of confined space rescue equipment and go over recommended rescue techniques.

Whether you are a worker, health and safety officer, manager or supervisor, this course is an essential resource for anyone looking to learn about confined space entry procedures. We outline everything you need to know, from atmospheric testing, team roles and permit requirements to life-saving techniques used to minimize the risks posed by CSE. Sign up to equip yourself with the knowledge and skills required to confidently manage the hazards associated with confined spaces.
