Confined Space Entry: Out In The Open

Confined Space Training uses full-motion video to teach the hazards associated with confined spaces. This course complies with OSHA's training requirement for all employees who work in confined spaces. Workers will learn proper procedures for entrants and attendants as well as proper rescue procedures. Confined Space Training uses high quality video footage to help your workers identify confinement hazards, convey proper preparation procedures, and teach entrant and attendant duties. This confined space training course qualifies for continuing education units and is a key component in your online osha training program.
