Confined Space Training: Ensuring Safety and Compliance
Confined space training is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of workers who operate in restricted areas. Each year, numerous workers suffer injuries or fatalities while working in confined spaces, and tragically, an estimated 60% of these fatalities are among “would-be” rescuers.
This alarming statistic highlights the critical need for proper confined space certification and training to prevent such incidents.
What Constitutes a Confined Space?
Confined spaces can be found in various industries and settings.
They include areas such as:
- Silos
- Vats
- Hoppers
- Utility vaults
- Tanks
- Sewers
- Pipes
- Truck or rail tank cars
- Aircraft wings
These environments pose unique challenges and risks, making confined space training vital for those who must enter and work in them.
