Confined Space Emergency: Understanding Confined Spaces (Program 1)

Working in a confined space poses a significant risk of injury or death. In addition to the possibility of bodily injury, those working in tight spaces must also be concerned with asphyxiation due to chemical pollutants or a lack of breathable air. Taking proper precaution is of the utmost importance before performing work in tunnels, mines, pipelines, silos, and the many other confined worksites your employees may find themselves in.

“Understanding Confined Spaces” is the first program in a series about confined space emergencies. This video focuses on defining and assessing hazards. The evaluation process before entering a confined space can save lives; prepare your employees to assess and control atmospheric hazards, equipment, and communication devices.

This course also educates your team on federal regulations and permit requirements for confined space work. Prepare your team to safely work in confined spaces and respond correctly should an accident happen.
