FAqs

What is a Confined Space Entry Program?
Every workplace which contains one or more areas that fit the definition of a Confined Space must prepare a written program that identifies all confined spaces within the work site, and for each space create a written hazard assessment, a plan and procedure for entry/exit, an entry permit and finally a contingency plan for rescuing workers from the space should an accident occur.

How do I go about entering a Confined Space?
Confined Spaces can be very unsafe places if proper measures are not followed proceeding entry. These precautions may call for the use of Lockout and Tag out processes and procedures. A full set of confined space policies, procedures and entry permits must be completed before safe entry is allowed.

Who needs Confined Space Awareness Training?
Anyone working in or around an area which can be designated as a Confined Space should be trained at least a basic awareness level. The employer or supervisor has the duty to ensure that the confined space awareness training is adequate to protect the health and safety of the workers who work in and around Confined Spaces. Those who actually perform the Hazard Assessment, create the confined Space Entry program, enter or work within a Confined Space or supervise the above workers will require further training.
