What is Confined Space Entry Basics?
The Confined Space Entry Basics Training course provides workers with essential knowledge to safely enter and work in permit-required confined spaces. Participants learn to follow entry procedures, recognize hazards, understand attendant responsibilities, and implement effective hazard controls. This training equips employees with the practical skills needed to maintain safety while meeting regulatory expectations.
Course Overview
Working in confined spaces presents unique risks, and OSHA requires specific training to ensure workers understand how to recognize hazards, follow safe entry procedures, and meet regulatory expectations. This Confined Space Entry course provides employees with the knowledge needed to work safely in permit-required spaces while helping employers stay compliant with OSHA standards for both general industry and construction.
The program explains how OSHA’s Confined Spaces in Construction rule (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) builds on and clarifies the Permit-Required Confined Spaces Standard for General Industry (29 CFR 1910.146). Because many everyday operations fall under “construction activities,” this course is relevant for organizations across a wide range of industries. Learners review essential topics such as using a Permit Space Program to reduce risk, preparing and verifying an entry permit, testing for hazardous atmospheres, making spaces safe before entry, and understanding attendant responsibilities and evacuation procedures.
Confined spaces often involve limited access, atmospheric hazards, and operational risks. A structured permit system, proper testing, and clear communication are critical to safe entry. This course provides a practical overview of OSHA requirements, hazard control, and step-by-step entry procedures.
