This comprehensive one-day lecture course is designed to mitigate the risk associated with working in confined spaces. It will benefit anyone who has identified permit required spaces and must develop a written program for identifying and evaluating hazards, preventing unauthorized entry and establishing safe entry procedures. This includes safety personnel, maintenance personnel, facility managers, supervisors and personnel who might work in confined spaces.

Every year, approximately 1.6 million Americans perform some type of work activity in a confined space. Working in a confined space can be dangerous. Accidents occur to workers because they fail to recognize that a confined space is a potential hazard. Serious injury and even death can result from asphyxiation, engulfment, electric shock, falls and heat stress. Every worker entering a confined space should consider that the most unfavorable conditions may exist, and the dangers of explosion, asphyxiation and poisoning are present. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration believes that up to 85% of these accidents can be prevented through a successful confined space entry program.
