Course Description
In this Confined Space Entry - Preparing for Entry course, you'll learn how to recognize the hazards inside permit-required confined spaces. We'll also examine how an entry permit and a confined space program help your team work safely. These practices are critical for preventing the injuries and fatalities that confined space work can cause. With these foundations in place, we'll explore how to put confined space preparation into practice.
We'll examine the four categories of confined space hazards, detailing how hazardous atmospheres and engulfment threaten workers. You'll gain the ability to read an entry permit and identify the roles of the entrant and attendant. We'll also cover the entry supervisor's duties, the company's confined space program, and the training it requires to give you a complete understanding of safe confined space entry. By the end of this course, you'll be able to prepare yourself, your team, and the space before entry.
