With over two million workers in the US laboring in confined spaces, having proper safety training is paramount, which is why HAZWOPER Center provides ample education for workers in various industries.

Permit Required vs Non-Permit Required Confined Spaces

In the realm of confined spaces, two primary categories exist: permit-required and non-permit-required.

- Permit-Required Confined Spaces - These areas contain, or could potentially contain, hazards that endanger workers' lives. Such hazards may involve a hazardous atmosphere, the potential for engulfment, or the risk of entrapment or asphyxiation.
- Non-Permit Required Confined Spaces - These confined spaces lack hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm. While they are generally safer, they are not entirely risk-free.

Why it Matters

The distinction between permit-required and non-permit-required confined spaces is pivotal for several reasons. It dictates the level of training necessary for workers entering these spaces. OSHA mandates employers to provide training for workers entering permit-required confined spaces, given their heightened risk to health and safety.

The Significance of OSHA Confined Space Training

OSHA confined space training is tailored to furnish workers with the requisite knowledge and skills to safely navigate and work in confined spaces. It encompasses various topics, including hazard recognition, atmospheric testing, and emergency response procedures.
