Training Overview

This three-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.

Understand the types of confined space hazard and know what to do in the event of a problem or emergency situation.

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.

Case studies and other examples are included to illustrate the concepts as well practical tools such as sample forms and checklists. Quizzes after each part and an exam help to measure and encourage learning.
