Confined Space Safety

This Confined Space Training course uses exciting interactive video scenarios to convey proper safety practices when working in a confined space. After completion of this OSHA-compliant Confined Space Safety course, workers will be able to recognize the dangers of a confined space, understand safe work practices, and proper confined space rescue procedures. Complies with 29 CFR Part 1910.146.
