Confined Spaces: Introduction to Confined Spaces

Our Confined Spaces: Introduction to Confined Spaces course defines the difference between confined spaces and permit-entry confined spaces. Over 1.5 million employees are exposed to these types of working conditions every year. Approximately 3% of all occupational fatalities occur in confined spaces, with a significant portion attributed to ‚Äúwould-be rescuers.” In this course, we identify what precautions exist for your workplace safety. We discuss what constitutes a confined space and explain the reasons why workers are at increased risk when they enter one. Discover the hazards you might encounter in confined spaces, and the steps you need to take to ensure your safety before you enter.

Part of our Confined Spaces For Employees series, the Introduction to Confined Spaces course includes a video, audio narration, downloadable materials, and a quick quiz. Take this course along with others in the Confined Spaces For Employees series to enhance workplace safety in hazard-prone spaces.
