Two New E-Courses From CCOHS To Help People Work Safely In Confined Spaces
|
CCOHS has developed two e-courses to advise people how to work safely in confined spaces as well as establish and manage a confined space program.
The first course, Confined Spaces: The Basics has three modules that provide key information on the identification and control of hazards, and steps to working safely. The course is intended for workers (including outside contractors) who perform work in confined spaces, their supervisors, managers and health and safety committee members.
"Confined Spaces: The Basics" is equivalent to the information provided by a classroom course, however it does not provide the “hands on”, workplace-specific training that allows workers to put the theory learned into actual practice. Employers must ensure that this additional workplace-specific training is provided for confined space workers.
Building on the information introduced in “The Basics", the second course, Confined Space Management, was designed to provide guidance to managers, supervisors, or those with control over confined space work. Anyone with responsibility for establishing or managing a confined space program in the workplace would also find the course helpful. It outlines legal duties and responsibilities and describes what is required to establish and manage a confined space program in the workplace, as well as important considerations for emergency preparedness
Pricing and registration information is available on the CCOHS website.
