HAZWOPER: Confined Space Entry

Clad in bulky, personal protective equipment (PPE), confined space entrants face hazards from tight spaces, moving parts, lose materials and, potentially, hazardous materials as well. This training video clearly explains how to make it safer to enter and work in silos, tanks, storage bins, pits, or hoppers while in the workplace. This workplace safety training video discusses Permit Required Confined Space Entry regulations, the importance of precisely following information on the permit, and the need for clear, frequent communication between confined space entry team members. The use of proper personal protective equipment for entrants and emergency responders is emphasized in this video training course.

The safety course provides instruction on testing the air within confined spaces to identify low oxygen levels, which do not support life, and high oxygen levels, which can be flammable or explosive. Viewers are walked through how to determine whether flammable gases, such as methane, acetylene, and carbon disulfide are present. The video explains testing for toxic fumes such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Viewers learn special techniques for detecting gases and vapors that may stratify in layers within the confined space. Emergency rescue procedures are also covered.

This Video On Demand workplace safety training course teaches those working within a confined space entry team the importance of their role and the roles of others, in improving the safety of confined space entry procedures.
