Confined Space Hazards for Construction
People are injured or killed every year as a result of improperly entering or working in a confined space. Potential hazards in every confined space include explosions, toxins, and oxygen-deficient atmospheres. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports an average of 20 people a year die from confined space hazards. More than half of the fatality victims are would-be rescuers. You may encounter confined spaces in virtually any occupation; therefore, you need to be able to recognize confined spaces and understand their hazards. This training will provide that knowledge.
