Confined Spaces and Hazardous Atmospheres - Refresher

NOTE: THIS TRAINING IS TO BE USED AS A REFRESHER ONLY! Trainees must have completed practical training in the past two years to qualify for this training.

Description

This course covers what a confined space is, what it is defined as, the types there are along with the hazards and possible causes of death in a confined space. It discusses the environment where a confined space can be found and things such as open tops, small hatchways and tank like spaces.

This course also covers hazardous atmospheres including toxic substances, corrosive and asphyxiating atmospheres. Some Hazardous Atmospheres can be flammable and can have significantly low oxygen levels which could cause serious harm. Learning how to identify and test for a Hazardous Atmosphere will ensure the safety of the worker entering that workspace.
