Course Description

In British Columbia, Work Safe BC (the Workers’ Compensation Board) reports 18 deaths in confined spaces over a 15-year period. Some of the incidents resulted in the death or injury of several workers, including those trying to rescue the first worker in distress.Workers must not enter a confined space until hazards have been identified, workers are trained, and all procedures to eliminate or control the hazards are implemented. A confined space entry program for your workplace will describe what needs to be done before workers can safely enter and work in a confined space.

This course is designed to introduce the learner to the basic concepts, hazards, hazard control processes and safe work procedures associated with confined spaces; it is not a substitute for specific training needed before entering a confined space. WorkSafe BC’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation – Part 9, Confined Spaces, sets out specific requirements that apply to confined space entry.

It is expected that a workplace will apply this information as they create their own company specific confined space entry program.
