Confined Space Entry Awareness
Confined spaces kill experienced workers every year — and most of the dead are would-be rescuers. This course delivers the awareness training the regulations require: how confined spaces are defined, your duties, the permit system, atmospheric hazards and testing, the entrant/attendant/supervisor roles, and why a rescue plan is mandatory.

Important: how this course fits your legal requirements
Confined space entry is one of the most heavily regulated, highest-risk activities in construction and industry. This course delivers the awareness and theory the regulations require, and gives each worker a dated training record. It does not, on its own, make a worker compliant to enter a specific confined space. The law also requires site-specific training on your actual spaces and hazards, hands-on practice with your gas monitors, ventilation and retrieval equipment, verified practical competency, and a written rescue plan with rescue capability for every entry. Everest builds those site-specific and practical pieces with you — that is exactly the kind of program work we do.
