Confined Space Awareness for Construction Online Course Description: In this awareness-level online safety course, you will learn about Confined Space in Construction. Find out how to utilize your existing knowledge on confined spaces while learning about new kinds of safety procedures and changing regulations. Confined spaces include manholes, crawl spaces and tanks that are not designed for continuous occupancy and are difficult to exit in the event of an emergency. Construction workers often perform tasks in confined spaces and these spaces can present physical and atmospheric hazards that can be prevented if addressed prior to entering the space to perform work.
Intended Audience: This course is principally intended for construction workers with only limited exposure in work locations where confined spaces exist, but which they are not permitted to enter, attend or otherwise work in those confined spaces. It is important for workers to be able to recognize likely confined space environments, the potential hazards encountered and what they need to do to avoid hazards or exposures.
