Confined Space Entry: Out in the Open
|
|
|
This training teaches the concepts necessary to work safely in a confined space as an entrant or outside the space as an attendant.
Twenty-nine interactive activities assess your worker's understanding of the key learning objectives and let them apply what they've learned in a safe environment. Your workers will learn what a confined space is, the hazards they may face, and how to protect themselves. Your workers will be able to properly prepare the space for entry, make a safe entry, perform their duties as attendant, and know what to do in an emergency.
