At Creation World Safety, our mission is to make the world a safer place by providing world-class safety training to employees, companies, and organizations throughout the greater Los Angeles, CA area. We offer employee safety classes ranging from basic first aid & CPR to advanced HAZWOPER trainings, and we can customize our classes to suit the specific needs of your company or organization.

If your employees regularly need to enter tight, confined spaces as a part of the job, it’s important that they understand the procedures for staying safe in confined spaces – and what to do if something goes wrong. Our Confined Space / Rescue course is the perfect way to ensure your employees know how to act in confined spaces.

What Are Confined Spaces & Why Are They Dangerous?

Confined spaces include any areas that are large enough for someone to enter, but small enough to make it difficult to enter, move around, and exit the space. Usually, employees won’t spend much time in a confined space; but even in brief periods, confined spaces can pose a hazard. These areas may present the risks of asphyxiation, entrapment, engulfment, or exposure to dangerous accumulations of gases and chemicals. Examples of confined spaces include:

• Manholes
• Silos
• Vaults
• Pits
• Tanks
• Vessels
• Tunnels
• Ducts
• Vents
