Confined space incidents are not the most common, but they can be the deadliest. This is because the hazards tend to be misunderstood or underestimated. And many confined space fatalities involve not one, but two, victims: the worker and the rescuer. OSHA’s Permit-Required Confined Spaces Regulation was created to help prevent these incidents.
This course can help you put the regulation into practice and save lives. Through discussion and activities, our professional facilitator will break down the regulation into terms you can understand. In just four hours, you will learn practices and procedures that will keep you in compliance and, best of all, protect your employees.
