Confined Spaces

about 90 min · 10 modules · English and French

A confined space can look harmless and still hold a deadly atmosphere: too little oxygen, toxic or flammable gases. Many victims are would-be rescuers. This course teaches workers to recognize a confined space and to enter only when everything is in place.

Who it’s for

Workers who enter or work beside confined spaces (tanks, vats, manholes, silos, sewers), attendants and the people who issue entry permits.

  • ✓Recognize a confined space and its hazards
  • ✓Test the atmosphere and interpret the readings
  • ✓Ventilate the space and calculate the required ventilation time
  • ✓Control fire, explosion, biological and mechanical hazards, including lockout
  • ✓Apply the entry permit, team roles and the rescue plan
