Why Should You take This Confined Space Awareness training?

The employer will provide Confined Space Awareness training to employees so that they acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of duties. Employees must be trained when first assigned to duties in and around permit spaces; before there is a change in assigned duties; whenever there is a change in operations that presents a hazard; and whenever the permit-space entry procedures change. Certification of such training must be available for inspection by employees or their authorized representatives.

Upon completion of Confined Space Awareness training, the student will be familiar with:

• Identify types of hazards in confined spaces
• Procedures to follow before entering a confined space
• Define the terms oxygen deficiency versus oxygen enrichment
• Recognize the concept of lower and upper flammable limits
