About the course
What this course covers.
Confined spaces kill workers who treat them as ordinary rooms. A tank, vault, trench, or vessel can hold an atmosphere that is oxygen-deficient, toxic, or flammable, and the worker who walks in without testing it often does not walk back out. This course exists so the people doing that work, and the people tending it from outside, know exactly what they are dealing with before anyone enters.
The course defines the difference between a confined space and a restricted space, walks through the classification systems used to rank entry risk, and covers the full control sequence: assessing the space, testing the atmosphere, eliminating or controlling the hazards, and monitoring conditions for the whole time the space is occupied. It also covers the paperwork that keeps an entry defensible - permits, logs, communication systems, and the emergency response plan.
Confined Space Entry and Monitor is also the prerequisite certification for Confined Space Rescue training, so it is the first step for any crew building a rescue capability.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
We had a tank entry job coming up and needed the whole crew certified fast. The course covered exactly what our entrants and monitors needed - testing, permits, the roles each person plays. Certificates were ready the same day.
Darren M.
Operations Manager
I have sent dozens of workers through this course. It is clear, it does not skip the parts that matter, and it gives our people a real understanding of what makes a space dangerous before they ever go in.
Janelle P.
Safety Coordinator
Our prime contractor wanted proof that every confined space worker was trained. Having the records in one account and exportable made the pre-qualification submission painless.

Who it is for
Built for the people running the work
- Workers who enter confined or restricted spaces - tanks, vessels, vaults, trenches, pits
- Workers who act as the monitor or tending worker at a confined space entry
- Supervisors responsible for planning and permitting confined space work
- Crews in oil and gas, construction, utilities, and industrial maintenance
- Anyone working toward Confined Space Rescue training, which requires this course first
What you walk away with
Able to do the job, not just describe it
- Tell a confined space from a restricted space and classify the entry risk
- Identify the atmospheric and physical hazards a space can hold
- Apply the assess, test, eliminate, control, and monitor sequence before and during entry
- Complete the permits, logs, and emergency response plan an entry requires
- Carry out the entrant and monitor responsibilities OHS legislation assigns

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
Testing runs throughout the course and a mark of 70 percent earns the certificate; the course can be repeated twice if the pass mark is not met on the first attempt. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion valid for three years from the completion date.
- Fully online and self-paced - about 260 minutes of content
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Downloadable print materials for reference during and after the course
- Pass mark is 70 percent, with two retakes included
Why it matters for compliance
Canadian Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation requires that confined space work is planned, that workers are trained and competent, and that entries are assessed, permitted, and monitored. This course provides the documented training record that a COR auditor or an inspector looks for on any site where confined space work happens.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask
How much does the Confined Space Entry and Monitor course cost?
- The course is 87.99 CAD per seat. Use code ONTRACK10 at checkout for 10 percent off an individual purchase, or set up a free On-Track Safety corporate account for 20 percent off every course for the first three months when training a crew.
How long does the course take?
- The course is about 260 minutes of content and is fully self-paced, so a worker can complete it in one sitting or across several shorter sessions without losing their place.
Does the Confined Space Entry and Monitor certificate expire?
- Yes. The certificate of completion is valid for three years from the completion date shown on it, after which the worker retakes the course to stay current.
Is this course the prerequisite for Confined Space Rescue?
- Yes. Confined Space Entry and Monitor is the prerequisite certification for admission to Confined Space Rescue training, so it is the first course any crew takes when building a rescue capability.
Does online confined space training meet OHS requirements?
- This course delivers the knowledge-based training and the documented certificate that OHS legislation expects for confined space entry. Site-specific procedures and any hands-on rescue practice are handled separately by the employer on top of this training.
