About the course
What this course covers.
Many serious confined space incidents involve workers who did not recognise a space as confined in the first place, or bystanders who went in after a co-worker without understanding the atmospheric hazard that took the first person down. This course starts there - building the recognition skill before it moves into procedure.
It covers atmospheric hazards, the difference between a permit-required and non-permit confined space, and what a worker should and should not do if a confined space emergency happens nearby.
This is an awareness-level course. Workers who will actually enter, attend, or supervise confined space entries need role-specific training in addition to this foundation.
