CONFINED SPACE TRAINING

Introduction

There are many jobs which require the worker to regularly enter confined spaces. They include vacuum truck operators, pump truck technicians, oilfield laborers, construction workers, electricians, scaffolders, welders, and more. While work in confined space is regularly done, it is strictly regulated. People entering confined space must have the right training and permits.

The safety of yourself and your employees should be the first priority of your business, no matter the industry. The reality of the world of work today is that some workplaces are more dangerous than others. Working in confined space can be dangerous, and it is important to only allow the most prepared and equipped workers to work in potentially dangerous circumstances. In particular, your workers should be trained and qualified to enter and work in confined spaces.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Vacuum truck operators, pump truck technicians, oilfield laborers, construction workers, electricians, scaffolders, welders, and more.
