Our Confined Space program provides participants with the information needed to understand the potential hazards of working in these spaces and the elements necessary to control those hazards prior to entry. Upon successful completion, a certificate will be issued automatically.

Modules include:

• Confined Spaces
• Confined Space Program
• Hazard Assessment
• Entry Plans
• Entry Permit
• Confined Space Controls
• Roles and Responsibilities
• On-Site Rescue.

WHO NEEDS CONFINED SPACE AWARENESS TRAINING?

Confined spaces can be below or above ground. Confined spaces can be found in almost any workplace. A confined space, despite its name, is not necessarily small. Examples of confined spaces include silos, vats, hoppers, utility vaults, tanks, sewers, pipes, access shafts, truck or rail tank cars, and aircraft wings. Ditches and trenches may also be a confined space when access or exit is limited. More information can be found here.

Anyone working in or around an area of the workplace designated as a Confined Space should be trained at the awareness level. The employer has the duty to ensure that the confined space awareness training is adequate to protect the health and safety of the workers who work in or around the confined space.

Those who actually perform the Hazard Assessment, create the Confined Space Entry program, enter or attend a Confined Space, or supervise an entry will require further training.

Some provinces, such as Ontario require an annual review of the confined space training program.
