Confined space training is crucial for the safety and well-being of workers operating in restricted areas. Each year, many workers suffer injuries or fatalities in confined spaces, with an estimated 60% of these fatalities occurring among "would-be" rescuers. This alarming statistic underscores the importance of proper confined space certification and training to prevent such incidents.

What Constitutes a Confined Space?

Confined spaces can be found across various industries and include areas such as:

Silos, vats, hoppers, utility vaults
Tanks, sewers, pipes, truck or rail tank cars
Aircraft wings

These environments pose unique challenges and risks, making confined space training essential for those who must enter and work in them.
