Permit-Required Confined Space Entry

Course Description:

The overall course goal is to enable students to effectively determine if employers are complying with the 29 CFR 1910.146 standard. This is a Blended Learning Course. Students must complete a web-based training portion of the course prior to attending the resident portion. The web-based portion may require up to 8 hours seat time. The course is designed to direct students to first determine if a space is a confined space, then to properly classify each confined space as either permit-required or a non-permit space. The course also allows students to determine which options [reclassification, alternate procedures or permit program] are effective at protecting workers entering permit spaces. Topics include legal issues; permit programs; ventilation and rescue. Course features workshops on confined space hazards, classification of spaces and an instrumentation laboratory exercise. This course is NOT designed nor intended to certify entry team members. For further information, please contact the Director, Office of Safety and Health Training.
