Confined Space Training

Confined spaces are any areas that are partially or fully enclosed and are not designed or intended for continuous human occupancy, but are large enough to enter. Confined spaces need to be entered by workers occasionally for maintenance, inspection, cleaning, etc., but proper safety procedures are crucial because these spaces can be hazardous. Confined space awareness is essential in an array of work sites. Workers in many fields may be required to enter confined spaces and need to know the risks involved in doing so, as well as the appropriate safety procedures to take. When a hazardous incident occurs within a confined space, the consequences can be disastrous. Atmospheric hazards such as a lack of oxygen or the presence of toxic gases take effect quickly in a confined space and can be fatal.

Examples of Confined Spaces

• Crawl spaces
• Cellars
• Silos
• Large pipelines
• Pump stations
• Storage tanks
• Water cisterns
• Wells

Examples of Hazards Associated with Confined Spaces

• Lack of oxygen
• Excess of oxygen
• Toxic gases
• Explosive atmospheres
• Electrical shock
• Moving parts of machinery
• Slip, trip, and fall hazards
• Poor visibility
• Extreme temperatures
• Falling objects

Confined Space Safety Courses

Workers who may need to perform tasks in a confined space at any time should be fully trained in the proper safety procedures and be aware of the safety hazards involved. Peak Safety Training provides multiple courses designed to prepare workers for navigating confined spaces as safely as possible. Our confined space entry training covers all aspects of safely entering and working in confined spaces.

We offer the following confined space safety courses. We also offer confined space online training options for remote learning.
