OSHA Permit-Required Confined Space Entry Training Course Syllabus
This OSHA Permit-Required Confined Space Entry Training consists of 9 lessons . Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
Introduction
Lesson 1: Understanding Confined and Permit-Required Confined Spaces
- Define confined spaces according to OSHA standards.
- Identify the differences between permit-required and non-permit confined spaces.
- Recognize the criteria that make a confined space permit-required.
- Examine common examples of confined spaces found in the workplace.
Lesson 2: Confined Space Hazards
- Identify common confined space hazards, including atmospheric hazards, engulfment risks, and mechanical or physical dangers.
- Understand why recognizing these hazards is critical for evaluating entry conditions and developing safe work procedures.
Lesson 3: Regulatory Overview
- Review of OSHA’s Confined Spaces standards for General Industry and the Construction Industry.
- Compare the key differences and similarities between the two standards.
Understand when and how each standard applies to confined space work in both industries.
Lesson 4: Confined Spaces Program
- Explain the key components of a Permit-Required Confined Space Program.
- Describe the purpose and use of entry permits for authorizing permit space access.
- Identify the required information that must appear on an entry permit.
- Recognize when and why an entry permit must be canceled or suspended.
- Understand the training requirements for workers involved in permit-required confined space operations.
Lesson 5: Permit-Required Entry Procedures
- Assess permit-required confined spaces before entry.
- Issue entry permits and hot work permits as required.
- Assign entry roles and responsibilities appropriately.
- Coordinate confined space activities when multiple employers are involved.
- Ensure all entries are completed safely and in compliance with OSHA requirements.
Lesson 6: Alternate Entry Procedures
- Explain how a permit-required confined space can be reclassified as a non-permit space.
- Describe alternative procedures for managing permit spaces safely.
- Demonstrate how these procedures reduce risk and improve work efficiency without compromising worker protection.
Lesson 7: Hazard Control and Safety Precautions
- Explain the Hierarchy of Controls and its application in confined spaces.
- Describe the importance of air quality testing to protect workers from atmospheric hazards.
- Demonstrate the process of purging and ventilating confined spaces.
- Identify different methods for isolating energy sources in a permit-required confined space before work begins.
Lesson 8: Personal Protective and Safety Equipment
- Identify the personal protective and safety equipment required for confined space work.
- Explain the proper use of respirators and specialized confined space PPE.
- Describe the importance of head and hearing protection, as well as hand and foot protection.
- Demonstrate the use of fall arrest systems, lighting equipment, and communication devices to ensure safe entry.
Lesson 9: Rescue and Emergency Procedures
- Recognize common medical emergencies that can occur in confined spaces.
- Understand OSHA’s requirements for confined space rescue.
- Describe retrieval system requirements for non-entry rescues.
- Identify the roles of on-site and off-site rescue teams in confined space emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements outlined in EPA stormwater regulations for construction activities, specifically focused on the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 402 and 40 CFR 122.26.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a site-specific document that describes how a construction project should regulate stormwater runoff and prevent pollution. Following SWPPP rules is essential as construction projects often disturb soil, increasing the risk of sediments, debris, and pollutants contaminating neighboring water bodies and harming the environment.
This Stormwater Management Training is important because it:
- Prepares participants to ensure efficient SWPPP execution and identify stormwater compliance concerns.
- Reduces the possibility of noncompliance, penalties, and environmental hazards resulting from poor site procedures.
- Offers knowledge to perform inspections, record results, and meet legal requirements.
- Enables practitioners to manage BMPs, assess performance, and suggest corrective actions.
- Completely compliant with the Clean Water Act and Construction General Permit (CGP) requirements.
- Covers important topics such as BMP selection, inspections, monitoring, and reporting.
- Created by experts in environmental compliance with practical construction stormwater management experience.
- Certificate of completion issued upon successful course completion, verifying QSP qualification.
- Offered through online modules, live virtual sessions, SCORM packages, and in-class training.
- Construction project managers and supervisors who are accountable for stormwater compliance.
- Compliance officials and environmental coordinators overseeing SWPPP execution.
- Inspectors as well as field personnel performing stormwater inspections and reporting.
- Contractors and engineers engaged in BMP design, construction, and maintenance.
- Project owners and developers aiming to comply with the Construction General Permit (CGP).
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Refresher training for Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) certification is not formally required on a fixed schedule. However, industry best-practices suggest renewal every two (2) to three (3) years to keep knowledge up to date.
Renewal is strongly recommended whenever regulations or permit requirements are updated, to ensure ongoing compliance.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your Qualified SWPPP Practitioner certificate in PDF format.
Validity: This Qualified Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Practitioner certification is valid for two (2) years.
Renewal: Qualified SWPPP Practitioners must renew or retake the course every two years to maintain compliance.

his confined space training gave me the confidence to identify confined spaces, understand the difference between permit-required and non-permit confined spaces, evaluate hazards, and oversee safe entries. It explained complex OSHA requirements in a very clear way.
I used to be afraid of entering tanks and vaults, but this training taught me just what to watch for and how to be safe. The section on permits and air checks was really helpful. I feel a lot safer now when entering a confined space.
This course provided me with the confidence and information needed to safely handle confined space entries. The step-by-step approach to permits, hazard assessments, and rescue readiness was practical and simple to implement on our job sites. Excellent for training for confined space safety specialists.
This course assisted me in knowing what I'm meant to do as an attendant. It taught me how to look out for hazards and how to help if something happens. It made sense.
