Why Is Confined Space Training Important?
Confined spaces can present hazards that aren’t always immediately visible. These can include oxygen deficiency, hazardous gases, flooding, fire, restricted access and difficulties evacuating an area during an emergency.
Appropriate training helps workers understand these risks and the procedures, equipment and precautions required to carry out confined space activities safely.
