Many workplaces contain areas classified as confined spaces because their structure restricts entry, movement, or exit for employees. These spaces often present unique hazards that increase the risk of serious injury or death. Workers in confined spaces may encounter dangers such as entrapment, engulfment, and hazardous atmospheric conditions (e.g., toxic gases, low oxygen, or flammable vapors).
This course provides essential guidance to help employees recognize confined space hazards, understand entry procedures, and protect themselves while working in these environments.
