Confined Space Management - Essential

Our 4-Hour Confined Space Management course is designed for supervisors and managers who oversee confined space work but may not directly enter confined spaces themselves. The program provides a focused overview of the legal framework, hazard recognition, and documentation requirements that apply to confined space operations.

Through practical examples and regulatory guidance, participants learn how to fulfill their supervisory duties, verify permits and assessments, and ensure proper rescue planning is in place. This training equips supervisors with the knowledge to demonstrate due diligence, reduce liability, and maintain safe and compliant operations.
