Many workplaces contain areas that are classified as confined spaces due to their design and structure. These spaces limit entry, movement, and exit, making it difficult for employees to work safely within them.
Workers entering confined spaces often face increased risks of serious injury or death from hazards such as:
- Entrapment (being trapped due to the space’s structure or equipment)
- Engulfment (being surrounded or swallowed by liquids or loose materials)
- Hazardous atmospheres (presence of toxic gases, lack of oxygen, or flammable vapors)
This course provides essential information on how employees can identify, assess, and control confined space hazards and protect themselves while working in such environments.
