🕳️ Confined Space Entry Awareness

Recognize permit-required confined spaces, the deadly atmospheric hazards, the testing order, isolation and ventilation, the entry permit, and the attendant's life-saving role under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146. It maps to OSHA 1910.146 confined spaces. The course is organized into 7 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 80%). It is free awareness-level training designed for anyone who needs a practical, working understanding of the topic.
