On-site OSHA Safety and Health Training Delivers High Value to Organizations and Workers
 

On Site Training

As the economy recovers and the demand for goods and services accelerates, a growing number of organizations of all sizes and industries are recognizing the many benefits of providing OSHA standards-based safety and health training that is tailored to meet the specific needs of employees in their familiar work setting.

Offering on-site safety and health training can be especially effective in raising employee awareness of workplace hazards and helping to create a safe and healthy work environment. Customized on-site safety and health training offers many advantages over off-site classroom courses...

Confined Spaces in the Workplace Pose Often Overlooked Hazards

 

Many workplaces contain "confined spaces" that, while not necessarily designed to accommodate people, are large enough for workers to enter and perform certain jobs. A confined space typically has limited or restricted openings for entry or exit and is not intended for continuous worker occupancy. Confined spaces include tanks, storage bins, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, ductwork and pipelines.

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) uses the term "permit-required confined space" (permit space) to describe a confined space that:

  • May contain a hazardous or potentially hazardous atmosphere;
  • May contain a material which can engulf a worker;
  • May contain walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward and taper into a smaller area which could trap or asphyxiate a worker;
  • May contain other serious physical hazards, such as unguarded machines or exposed live wires.

Procedures for Atmospheric Testing in Confined Spaces

 

A confined space is one that is large enough to enter and perform assigned work, has limited or restricted openings for entry or exit, and is not designed to be occupied continuously by a worker. OSHA regulations require employers to prepare written procedures and issue permits for entry into and work performed inside confined spaces.

 

A permit-required confined space (also referred to as a permit space by OSHA) has one or more of the following conditions: a hazardous atmosphere; a material that can engulf a person who enters; an inside design that could trap or asphyxiate a person who enters; and/or any other serious safety or health hazards.

 

Atmospheric testing of a permit space is required for two distinct purposes: evaluation of the hazards of the permit space and verification that acceptable conditions exist for entry into that space.

OSHA Training Center Offers Confined Space Curriculum

The OSHA Training Center at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District is offering a series of courses focusing on the hazards associated with confined spaces in the workplace.
