Confined space areas can be deadly if a worker doesn't know the dangers to look for or the methods used to eliminate the hazards. Workers have died in confined spaces because they couldn't assess the dangers. Entry attendants have died trying to save a worker who has passed out. This course covers: what is considered a confined space, when is an entry permit required before entering a confined space, how to evaluate the air within a confined space, how to purge the space, what personal protection equipment (PPE's) are to be used and how to correctly don and use them, and responsibilities of the attendant -
including the right procedure to use if a worker passes out in a confined space. In the “hands-on” part of this course, students will be required to participate in and demonstrate correct use of respirators and simulate a rescue operation in a confined space mock-up.
