OSHA Confined Spaces Training
Prepare your employees by training them on all the confined space regulations as they apply to entrants, attendants, and supervisors. A confined space has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and it is not designed for continuous occupancy. A confined space requires a permit for entry if the space contains a potential hazardous atmosphere. Examples of permit confined spaces include tanks, sewers, storm drains, boilers and HVAC ducts. OSHA requires employees that must enter confined spaces to receive training on how to recognize and avoid hazards found in confined spaces.
