Confined Space Awareness for Construction Online Course Description: In this awareness-level online safety course, you will learn about Confined Space in Construction. Find out how to utilize your existing knowledge on confined spaces while learning about new kinds of safety procedures and changing regulations. Confined spaces include manholes, crawl spaces and tanks that are not designed for continuous occupancy and are difficult to exit in the event of an emergency. Construction workers often perform tasks in confined spaces and these spaces can present physical and atmospheric hazards that can be prevented if addressed prior to entering the space to perform work.
Intended Audience: This course is principally intended for construction workers with only limited exposure in work locations where confined spaces exist, but which they are not permitted to enter, attend or otherwise work in those confined spaces. It is important for workers to be able to recognize likely confined space environments, the potential hazards encountered and what they need to do to avoid hazards or exposures.

Confined Space Awareness for General Industry Online Course Description: Many members of the general industry workforce are required to perform confined space entry (CSE) for routine maintenance, system repair, and more. When a CSE team enters a permit-required confined space, there can be significant health and safety risks. For this type of job, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and know what to do in the case of an emergency. Designed for general industry workers and employers alike, the Confined Space Awareness for General Industry course provides confined space awareness training so participants can stay safe in the workplace.
Intended Audience: Confined Space Awareness for General Industry is designed for all members of the general industry workforce who may be required to perform CSE. These may include employees, supervisors, and managers in the following fields:
- Manufacturing
- Warehousing and distribution
- Property management
- General office
- Trade and transportation
- Hospitality
- Retail services
This course is not intended for employees or employers in the field of construction. Alternatively, these professionals can opt to enroll in our Confined Space Awareness for Construction course.
Learning Aids: This confined space awareness training course is based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Title 29 CFR 1910.146 standard. It addresses pertinent topics that will help keep you safe during CSE, including:
- Basics of confined spaces
- Confined space awareness
- OSHA’s confined space regulations
- CSE permit development and implementation
- Recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards
- Roles of CSE team members, including entrants, attendants, supervisors, and emergency response and rescue personnel
- Emergency response and drills
- Monitoring equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), and rescue equipment
Features and Benefits: Upon completion of the Confined Space Awareness for General Industry course, participants will receive training to better prepare them for CSE. Specifically, this course will teach participants about OSHA permit-required confined spaces, including their potentially hazardous or even fatal natures. Along with this, participants will learn why CSE team members are the only people allowed to enter these spaces. They will also become familiar with the planning and equipment this type of work entails.
