Confined Space Training

Every year in the U.S., over 2.1 million workers enter confined spaces. It can be dangerous business. According to estimates, over 100 deaths occur in confined spaces in Canada annually. Implementing proper safety precautions could have prevented 85% of all confined space incidents, including these tragic deaths, says the Canadian Standards Association.

By law, these safety precautions must include a confined space program for your workplace. In addition to recognizing, identifying, and assessing your confined spaces and the hazards associated with them, this program must include measures to control those hazards. This means you must have a plan that provides training for your workers.

Unfortunately, in a recent U.S. study of workplace confined space fatalities, 0% used written procedures, 0% had a rescue plan, and just 15% had confined space training. Sadly, 60% of those fatalities were would-be rescuers. Most of these workers were performing routine maintenance.

A good health and safety program starts with educating your workforce. Our Confined Space training courses are designed in compliance with: the Canada Labour Code, Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (COHSR), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Give your workers the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their duties safely while working in a confined space.
