This 3-part course will educate you on confined spaces, the identification and control of hazards that can be encountered, and key steps to working safely.
.
Part 1: Hazard Awareness covers how to recognize confined spaces and the types of hazards that may be present.
Part 2: Hazard Control covers how to control the hazards.
Part 3: Working Safely covers proper ways to enter and work in a space as well as emergency planning.

Although the course covers the basics of most legal requirements, there may be some variation between jurisdictions. Links are provided, wherever possible, to documents that cover legal requirements for some jurisdictions. "Confined Spaces: The Basics" is equivalent to the general theory and information provided by a classroom course, however it does not provide the "hands on", workplace-specific training that allows workers to confidently put the theory learned into actual practice in the workplace.
Employers must ensure that this additional workplace-specific training is provided for confined space workers.

Topics include:

Responsibilities of Employers, Supervisors, Workers and Contractors
Recognizing a Confined Space
Hazard Awareness in Confined Spaces
Confined Space Permit Systems
Preparing for Confined Space Entry and Work
Working Safely in Confined Spaces
Emergency Planning for Confined Spaces
