HBIH 9622 – Confined Space Entry Out in the Open
Overview
This training teaches the concepts necessary to work safely in a confined
space as an entrant or outside the space as an attendant.
Twenty-nine interactive activities assess your worker's understanding of
the key learning objectives and let them apply what they've learned in a safe
environment. Your workers will learn what a confined space is, the hazards
they may face, and how to protect themselves. Your workers will be able to
properly prepare the space for entry, make a safe entry, perform their duties
as attendant, and know what to do in an emergency.
