Confined Space Entry And Monitor Training

This course covers information for workers who enter confined spaces and those who act as a safety monitor for workers entering confined spaces. Training is required for workers who enter and monitor confined spaces.

Why is confined space entry and monitor training important?

The New Zealand Department of labor calculated that working in a confined space was 150 times more dangerous than doing the same task outside of a confined space.

Hazards in confined spaces are significant, oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, asphyxiates, mechanical hazards, and engulfment are just a few of potential threats to life. Training increases your awareness, and ability to recognize dangerous situations.
