Confined Space rescue training helps workers to prepare for and operate around dangerous confined spaces. Rescue training also prepares workers to take steps in the event of an accident. Workers like linemen often have to crawl down into underground vaults and other hazardous confined areas.
Some work may require that employees of outside contractors enter confined spaces service or installation work. When this becomes necessary, the contractors and construction company's Maintenance Supervisor assigned to the facility will provide a copy of this confined space program and a full description of the confined space the contracted employees will be entering.
Through our confined spaces course online, on-site workers will learn the responsibilities of the employer and entry supervisor. Upon completion, workers will be able to identify permit-required spaces, understand the hazards of confined spaces, and know the proper procedures to use when working in/around a confined space. They will also learn what steps to take in the event of an emergency rescue situation.
Topics that will be covered in this course are:
- Identifying permit-required confined spaces and their hazards
- Proper utilization of gas monitoring equipment
- Methods to safely ventilate your confined space
- Duties of supervisors and advantage of OSHA's alternate entry procedures
- Ensuring OSHA compliance written Confined Space Entry program
