Confined Space Entrant, Attendant, Supervisor

2 – Days (Open Enrollment or Site-Specific Closed Enrollment) Unfortunately, even with the OSHA regulations in place, we are still seeing too many confined space fatalities each year.  Much of this can be attributed to simple complacency at the worksite.  Workers make routine entries into the same spaces, never thinking that the conditions may have changed.  1 in 1400 industrial accidents results in serious injury; 1 in 10 confined space accidents results in serious injury.  60% of all confine space deaths are to would-be rescuers.  Approximately 80% of all confined space fatalities happened in space that were deemed safe to enter!  This course takes a realistic approach to safety in and around confined space entries and accountability of the roles of the entrant, attendant, and supervisor.
