Confined Space Awareness Training Course

What is Confined Space Awareness Training Course?

The Confined Space Awareness Training Course provides essential knowledge for workers in agricultural environments, where silos, tanks, manure pits, and other confined spaces can pose serious hazards. Aligned with CSA Z1006, this course teaches learners to recognize confined spaces, understand potential risks, and apply proper controls and procedures. Participants gain practical insight into hazard identification, worker responsibilities, and emergency response planning to support safe farm operations.

Course Overview

This Confined Space Safety course has been developed under the CSA Z1006 Standard, Management of Work in Confined Space, and is designed specifically for agricultural environments. Confined spaces on farms, such as silos, bins, tanks, manure pits, and crawl spaces, present unique hazards that require proper identification, preparation, and controls. This training provides workers with the knowledge needed to recognize confined spaces, understand associated risks, and follow safe work practices.

Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to:

Recognize confined spaces on the farm
Describe types of possible hazards in confined spaces
List the proper hierarchy of controls and examples for each
Understand the responsibilities of everyone involved in confined space work and define their own role
Recall the importance of a confined space rescue plan

TOPIC OVERVIEW

Confined spaces on farms can expose workers to hazardous atmospheres, engulfment risks, mechanical dangers, and limited entry or exit. Understanding how hazards develop, how to assess them, and how to control them is essential for preventing injuries and fatalities. This course provides a practical, agriculture-focused foundation for safe confined space entry, monitoring, and emergency response.
