Confined Space Entry, Trenching & Excavation for competent person, Silica
May 11 @ 1:00pm CST
El Dorado, KS |201 E. Central Ave | El Dorado, KS 67042
- Confined Space Entry
- Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered “confined” because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter into, work in, and exit from them.
Confined space incidents aren’t the most common, but they can be the most deadly. That’s because the hazards tend to be misunderstood or underestimated. Many confined spaces fatalities involve not one, but two, victims: the worker and the rescuer. OSHA’s Permit-Required Confined Spaces Regulation was created to help prevent these incidents.
Through discussion and activities, our training will break down the regulation into terms you can understand. The objective of this training is to provide education on the requirements of the OSHA standard 1910.146 and cover the duties of entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors. Attendees will learn practices and procedures to remain in compliance and, best of all, protect your employees.
- Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered “confined” because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter into, work in, and exit from them.
