The course also reviews real-world examples of accidents and fatalities to underscore the importance of safety measures, emphasizing the hazards such as suffocation, engulfment, and the challenges of rescue. This training is ideal for anyone who may work in environments where these risks exist, ensuring that workers understand and implement all necessary precautions.

This training course is designed for individuals working in general industry environments where confined spaces are present. OSHA uses the term "general industry" to refer to all sectors not classified under agriculture, construction, or maritime activities, making this course applicable across a wide range of workplaces. It is particularly relevant for confined space supervisors, entrants, and attendants—roles for which OSHA mandates specific safety training. Whether you work in sumps, pits, pipes, tunnels, tanks, or silos, this course aims to teach you the skills needed to prevent serious workplace injuries and ensure a safe working environment.
Case Study: On October 2nd, 2007, five people were killed and three others injured when a fire erupted 1,000 feet underground in a tunnel at a hydroelectric power plant in Georgetown, Colorado. The tunnel, which was several thousand feet long and connected two reservoirs with electricity-generating turbines, trapped the fatally injured workers deep underground during an operation to coat the inside of the tunnel with epoxy using highly flammable solvents.

Governing Regulations
This training course is based on the standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA enforces worker safety through regulations published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, with Part 1910 specifically addressing general industry standards. Our course meets the training requirements outlined in 29 CFR 1910.146, the standard for both permit-required and non-permit confined spaces, ensuring that you receive instruction that complies with current OSHA guidelines.
What You'll Learn
Topics Covered
- Introduction to OSHA Confined Space Entry Training Course
- Overview of OSHA Regulations
- The Permit System
- Duties
- Rescue and Emergency Services
- Appendices to 29 CFR §1910.146
Confined space training educates workers on the hazards, safety procedures, and regulatory requirements associated with working in confined or enclosed spaces. It covers topics such as hazard recognition, atmospheric testing, proper ventilation, personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency response protocols, and OSHA’s permit-required confined space (PRCS) standards.
This online confined space training course provides comprehensive instruction on identifying confined space hazards, understanding OSHA confined space regulations, and properly using personal protective equipment (PPE) and atmospheric monitoring equipment. Participants will also learn about safe entry and exit procedures, emergency response and rescue protocols, and the responsibilities of both employers and workers in maintaining a safe work environment. Upon completing the course, learners will receive a downloadable and printable certificate as proof of training.
There is no such thing as becoming "confined space certified" because OSHA does not issue official certifications. However, workers who need confined space training can complete our online course to meet OSHA training requirements and obtain a certificate demonstrating they have successfully completed the course.
Yes! While confined space "certification" does not technically exist, our online training course allows workers to complete the necessary education at their own pace, from any location. With this mobile learning format, workers can fit training into their schedule without disrupting work or personal commitments.
The course includes two hours of instructional content, but because it is self-paced, the total completion time may vary depending on the learner’s individual progress and the time needed to review material and complete quizzes.
The minimum time required to complete this online course is two hours. You can pause and resume at any time, and your progress will be saved so you can continue where you left off.
You must complete the course within 60 days, as access will expire after that period.
Employers are responsible for ensuring that new employees receive confined space training before being assigned to tasks involving confined space hazards. OSHA requires confined space training to be conducted initially and whenever there is a change in operations, job duties, or when deviations from safety procedures are observed. This course meets those training requirements and provides the necessary knowledge to help workers stay compliant with OSHA standards.
