A confined space is defined as a work area which has all of the following characteristics: sufficient space for a person to fit within and perform work, limited means of entry and exit, and a design that was not intended for continuous worker occupancy. This course will provide general awareness on confined spaces, differentiate between a permit-required and non-permit required confined space, and describe the job roles and responsibilities involved in confined space entry.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Define a confined space
• Identify specific hazards that may exist within a confined space
• Describe the job roles and responsibilities involved in confined space entry [and]
• Identify steps to safely manage and eliminate hazards in a permit-required confined space
