Frequently Asked Questions
A confined space is an area with limited access that is not designed for continuous human occupancy. Workers may need to enter these spaces to perform specific job tasks. Examples include tanks, ducts, crawl spaces, manholes, attics, turbines, and drilled shafts.
According to OSHA, a space is considered confined if it meets three criteria:
- It is large enough and configured so an employee can fully enter it.
- It has limited or restricted means of entry and exit.
- It is not designed for continuous occupancy.
This OSHA Confined Space Training course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements of OSHA’s Confined Spaces Standard for the Construction Industry, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA.
Working in confined spaces is dangerous and performed daily by thousands of construction and maintenance workers. Employees must understand what constitutes a confined space and be aware of hazards they may face while working in these areas.
This OSHA Confined Space Awareness Training teaches workers to recognize confined spaces on their worksites. It also covers best practices to reduce risks and improve worker safety.
- This online confined space training provides essential OSHA-aligned knowledge for recognizing and avoiding hazards on construction sites.
- The course supports compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA and teaches workers to identify permit-required and non-permit confined spaces.
- It reduces injuries, fatalities, and OSHA violations by improving awareness of limited entry, atmospheric hazards, and engulfment risks.
- Designed for construction workers, supervisors, and safety personnel, the course delivers awareness-level training without unnecessary complexity.
- The flexible online format allows self-paced learning for onboarding, refresher training, or jobsite compliance, making it an efficient confined space course.
This Confined Space Certification is for workers who enter or work around confined spaces. It includes authorized entrants, safety attendants, entry supervisors, and emergency response personnel.
This course provides awareness-level training only and does not qualify employees to enter confined spaces.
Confined space entry training requires classroom instruction with hands-on practice.
