Entering and working in confined spaces is a high-risk job. Fatal injuries in confined spaces average 92 per year – that’s almost two each week. Compass Group EHS offers Confined Space Safety training to teach construction workers involved in confined space entry to understand the potential hazards and strictly adhere to safe work practices and entry procedures. Confined spaces include underground vaults and tunnels, tanks, storage bins, manholes, pits, silos, process vessels, pipelines, and others.
Compass Group’s Confined Space Safety course teaches workers the precautions to take in the event of an accident, and the procedures required for your company to be OSHA compliant.
