13 May The Limitless Potential of Confined Space Safety Training

In addition to the more talked about types of corporate safety training (CPR training, fire safety training, forklift training, etc.) Creation World Safety offers safety courses in many more areas too. One great program that we provide in accordance with corporate OSHA standards is: confined space safety training.

What Are Confined Spaces?

Confined spaces include all areas in the workplace that are not designed for people, but require employees to step into them nonetheless in order to perform certain jobs. These are spaces that have not been constructed to support prolonged occupancy and have limited means of entry or exit, such as:

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

As these kinds of spaces can be very dangerous to enter into, providing thorough employee safety training within your business is important. Why, just some of the potential dangers associated with confined spaces include:

• Asphyxiation
• Engulfment
• Entrapment
• Toxic substances
• Flammable atmospheres
• Oxygen Deficient Atmospheres
• Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres

The OSHA Standard

As part of OSHA regulations, the use of confined space in business environments is strictly controlled. If corporations require employees to enter confined spaces, they must comply with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.146, which lays out how employers are to regulate (permit-required) confined spaces in order to keep working conditions safe.

One requirement that OSHA retains for eliminating confined space dangers is the prerequisite that businesses hold special training programs for employees that utilize them. This type of employee safety training is an important service offered at Creation World Safety. We provide a comprehensive, OSHA-friendly course for confined space safety training that covers:

• Safety aspects of permit spaces
• Controlling atmospheric & engulfment hazards
• Elements of atmospheric testing
• Proper use of ventilation to eliminate hazards
• Proper use of ventilation in oxygen deficient atmospheres
• Confined space positions and their responsibilities
• Contractor & host responsibilities
• Elements of rescue and emergency services
