OG: Confined Space Entry

Powered industrial trucks like forklifts are used every day to lift and move equipment or materials. Because of the high risk of injury and even death while operating a powered industrial truck, some use and training recommendations have been developed to improve safety. This training is ideal for all workers who operate or supervise the operation of forklifts.

Due to their design and limited ways to get in and out of them, confined spaces can be dangerous. This is especially true when you add hazards like asphyxiating or flammable atmospheres and moving parts. Take the courses in this suite to learn what confined spaces are, when they require permits and how rescues work. These courses are ideal for anyone whose workplace has confined spaces, especially those who may work in or around confined spaces.

This program provides information about worker rights, employer responsibilities and how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job-related hazards. Although many essential safety topics are covered, additional site-specific information and hands-on demonstrations of skills are ultimately needed for your safety and to fulfill training requirements found in OSHA standards. Many jurisdictions, employers and unions require this course, which is voluntary at the U.S. federal level. Each student who completes the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA Outreach Training is only available to trainees within the geographic jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act. Trainees outside this jurisdiction will not receive cards for course completion. This 10-Hour program is primarily intended for entry-level workers, and the 30-Hour program is for workers with some safety responsibility. The program will take longer than 10 hours.
