objectivesThe Introduction to Confined Spaces in Construction online safety course is a detailed review of confined spaces for attendants, entrants, supervisors, and managers where participants will learn about OSHA’s new Confined Spaces in Construction regulation (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) and all fundamental requirements therein. This course focuses on the basics for recognizing, evaluating, and controlling confined spaces. Participants will learn OSHA’s guidelines for confined spaces and confined space entry (CSE) program procedures that should be implemented by individual companies to ensure safety at the job site. Additionally, students will learn ways to prevent confined space injuries in the workplace.
OSHA Education School’s Introduction to Confined Spaces in Construction online safety course is designed specifically to explain the scope, definitions, requirements, processes and permits, training, duties of confined spaces personnel, rescue, and employee participation requirements. Throughout the course, students will go through case studies and interactive exercises designed to support student learning. Course topics include the following:
Introduction to confined spaces
Confined spaces in construction standards
Definition of industry terms including, but not limited to, confined spaces, barriers, early warning systems, permit required confined spaces, hazardous atmosphere, engulfment, or entrapment, lockout and tagout (LTO), and more
Confined spaces safe working practices
Permit-required confined space entry
CSE equipment
Duties of the CSE team
Rescue from confined spaces
Special considerations in regards to confined spaces
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Recognize requirements of the OSHA Confined Spaces in Construction Standard, 29 CFR 1926, Subpart AA
Identify hazards typical to confined spaces, how they are recognized and evaluated, and ways these hazards are controlled
Recognize components of the confined space permit process
Identify duties of individual confined space team members
Recognize the dangers of entry rescues and the preparations required for initiating a rescue
Recognize basic employer requirements for protecting workers from exposure to confined space entry hazards
descriptionA confined space is a space with limited entry and egress and not suitable for human inhabitants. An example is the interior of a storage tank, occasionally entered by maintenance workers but not intended for human occupancy.The Introduction to Confined Spaces in Construction course provides a comprehensive review of confined spaces for attendants, entrants, supervisors, and managers. Participants will become familiar with OSHA's new Confined Spaces in Construction regulation (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) and all of its fundamental requirements. This course teaches students how to recognise, evaluate, and regulate restricted areas. Participants will learn about OSHA's confined space and confined space entry (CSE) guidelines, as well as the procedures that should be implemented by individual companies to ensure job site safety. Additionally, students will learn how to prevent occupational confined space accidents.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA 1 training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
Failure to pass quizzes and the final exam will result in being locked out of this online training program, but the learner can repurchase and start back from the beginning.
Upon completing this Introduction To Confined Spaces In Construction and the accompanying survey, you will receive an OSHA 1 card from the provider of this OSHA training on behalf of the Department of Labor.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING TO RECEIVE YOUR DOL CARD
