Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered "confined" because their configurations hinder the activities of any employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. OSHA uses the term "confined space" to describe such spaces. Employees who work in confined spaces face increased risk of exposure to serious hazards such as entrapment asphyxiation or the moving parts of machinery.

Since deaths in confined spaces often occur because the atmosphere is oxygen deficient or toxic, confined spaces should be tested prior to entry and continually monitored. More than 60% of confined space fatalities occur among would-be rescuers; therefore, a well-designed and properly executed rescue plan is a must.

Coastal's confined space training programs will help protect your employees and help your facility comply with OSHA's confined space entry and confined space rescue training requirements as stated in OSHA Standard 1910.146. Topics covered include preparing confined space entry permits, atmospheric testing, ventilation and technical rescue procedures — just to start!
