Work in confined spaces is inherently dangerous — these are areas not designed for continuous occupancy that often have limited entry and exit, restricted airflow, and hidden hazards. OSHA reports that workers in these environments face elevated risks of asphyxiation, toxic atmospheres, engulfment, explosions, and other life‑threatening conditions.

Each year in the United States, about 100 workers die from confined space accidents and hundreds more are seriously injured.

The Confined Space Competent Person Course prepares supervisors, safety personnel, and workers to safely identify, evaluate, and manage confined space entry operations in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

Participants will learn critical skills including hazard recognition, atmospheric testing, permit requirements, proper entry and exit procedures, rescue planning, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The course combines hands-on exercises with real-world scenarios to ensure safe work in confined spaces.
