Confined Space Hazards
OSHA
Training
Provided by Technical Presentations
"Confined Space Hazards" is designed for all employees who work around permit-required confined spaces, but not necessarily in a permit-required confined space. If you have any permit-required confined spaces on your site, each of your workers needs to complete this training program. This course will define a permit-required confined space and discuss all of the hazardous aspects of confined spaces.
Your workers will learn about confinement, atmospheric and process hazards. They will also learn about hazard control and the permit program. Delivery formats include CD-ROM, LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet. The course can be customized to meet your site-specific needs. It is currently available in English, but other language tracks can be added.
