8-Hour Permit-Required Confined Space Entry

Course Description:

The 8-Hour Permit-Required Confined Space Entry Course is an important safety training course that is specifically for construction and general industry employees that could possibly enter, supervise, or be in charge of permit-required confined spaces (PRCS).

Confined spaces such as tanks, silos, sewers, pipelines, manholes, or crawl spaces present dangers like toxic environments, engulfment, lack of oxygen, and entrapment. This course trains extensively on identifying these dangers, maintaining OSHA guidelines, and conducting entry and rescue operations safely.

This course satisfies the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 (General Industry) and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA (Construction) requirements and is perfect for anyone who might be an authorized entrant, attendant, or entry supervisor.

• Recognize and categorize confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces
• Recognize the hazards and atmospheric conditions typical in confined spaces
• Describe the roles and duties of entrants, attendants, and supervisors
• Interpret OSHA’s Permit-Required Confined Space Standard
• Use gas monitoring devices and conduct atmospheric testing
• Complete, issue, and maintain confined space entry permits correctly
• Know emergency procedures and non-entry rescue requirements
