Description:

What’s in the Confined Space Training Course?

Our confined Spaces Safety Training course is built to regulation guidelines. This class discusses topics including basic equipment, confined spaces testing, safe operations, common hazards, rescue techniques, and more. Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local standards, this training encompasses the following standards:

Encompasses these US Standards:
• 29 CFR 1910.146 – General Industry, Confined Spaces
• 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA – Construction
• 29 CFR 1915 Subpart B – Shipyards
• 29 CFR 1910.134 – Respiratory Protection

Encompasses these Canadian Standards:

Why do I need confined space Training?

In line with regulations, anyone who works with confined spaces must receive training prior to working on their own. Requirements for refresher training related to forklifts or other processes are very specific. Most other equipment doesn’t have such specific requirements, but it is wise to follow the same guidelines.

When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
