A confined space entry and rescue training is a course based on OSHA’s permit-required confirmed space standards for general industry (29 CFR 1910.146) or construction (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA). The federal agency introduced the standards to help employees work safely in confined spaces. Training topics also include how to identify potential hazards in a confined space and overcome them. There are also less comprehensive trainings available to teach you how to identify permit-required confined spaces rather than work in them.
Enable professionals to identify, plan and authorize the release for entry in confined space in order to assess, monitor and control the risks in order to ensure the safety and health of people who take part directly and indirectly in this task.
This course is for any one and lookouts who need to work in confined space. Offshore Companies and the International Maritime Organization also require that all workers who wish to work aboard ships and rigs obtain the Basic Safety Training (BST).
Because of the different specialists involved in work in confined space, Safety Scope also conducts the Confined Space Training for the Supervisors
