Confined Space Entry - Permit Required

What is Confined Space Entry – Permit Required?

The Permit-Required Confined Space Training Course equips learners with essential knowledge for safely working in environments classified as permit-required confined spaces. Participants explore how to identify these spaces, recognize associated hazards, and follow proper entry procedures. The course covers entry permits, team responsibilities, hazard controls, and emergency rescue planning, providing a clear understanding of safe operations from preparation through rescue.

Course Overview

The Confined Spaces Safety Training course provides workers with essential knowledge to safely identify, assess, and work in or around confined spaces. Developed in alignment with OSHA regulations, this course explains the equipment required for confined space operations, how to inspect and use it, and the correct procedures for safe entry and monitoring. Learners explore atmospheric hazards, including IDLH atmospheres, and review strategies to prevent serious incidents.

The course also covers rescue techniques and the responsibilities involved in planning for confined space emergencies. Practice quiz questions help reinforce learning and prepare participants for the final written exam. A checklist is included for employers who must conduct the required practical evaluation. While additional jurisdictional regulations may apply, this program aligns with key standards, including:

29 CFR 1910.146 – General Industry Confined Spaces
29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA – Construction Confined Spaces
29 CFR 1915 Subpart B – Shipyard Confined Spaces
29 CFR 1910.134 – Respiratory Protection

Topic Overview

Confined spaces present unique and often hidden hazards that can quickly lead to severe injuries or fatalities if proper controls are not in place. Understanding atmospheric testing methods, safe entry procedures, equipment requirements, and emergency rescue planning is critical for protecting both entrants and attendants. This course builds a strong foundation for recognizing hazards and following safe work practices in a variety of industries.

Course Overview Operating a scraper requires skill, precision, and a strong understanding of safety protocols. Scraper Operator Safety Training (OSHA) provides the classroom portion of operator safety certification and meets OSHA’s training requirements for scraper operation. This course prepares operators to recognize hazards, understand scraper anatomy, and apply safe practices in construction and earthmoving environments. Learners will review essential stability principles, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and hazard prevention methods to minimize the risk of injury or equipment damage. Interactive quizzes throughout reinforce key learning points and prepare participants for the final written exam. Upon completion, learners can print their certificate and wallet card, while employers can use the provided checklist to evaluate practical operating performance in the field. Topic Overview Scrapers are powerful earthmoving machines used to cut, collect, and transport large volumes of material. Without proper training, operators face risks such as rollovers, collisions, or equipment failures. This course gives workers the knowledge to identify these hazards and follow OSHA-compliant safety practices to prevent incidents on the job site. Course Topics • Introduction: Overview of scraper operation and OSHA safety requirements. • Anatomy: Identify key scraper components and their functions. • Safe Practices: Learn proper start-up, operation, and shutdown procedures. • Stability: Understand how weight distribution and terrain affect equipment balance. • Hazards: Recognize and mitigate common job site and operational risks. • Conclusion: Reinforce best practices for safe and efficient scraper operation. Course Duration This online course takes approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) to complete. Learners can pause and resume training anytime for flexibility. Pass Mark A minimum score of 80% is required to successfully complete the course. Learners may attempt the course up to three times if the pass mark is not achieved. Quizzes throughout reinforce understanding and ensure knowledge retention. Certificate of Completion Upon successful completion, a digital certificate of completion and wallet card will be available for download and printing. Employers may use the included checklist to verify hands-on competency in the field."
