Confined Space Awareness for Non-Authorized Employees Training Course

Online Confined Space Awareness Course for Non-Authorized Employees

In any workplace, safety starts with awareness—especially when it comes to the hidden dangers of permit-required confined spaces.

While only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to enter these high-risk areas, non-authorized employees must still understand the risks, recognize confined spaces, and know why they should never attempt entry.

Proper training is the first step in preventing accidents, and our Confined Space Awareness Training equips you with the essential knowledge to stay safe while working near hazardous spaces. Whether you are new to the job or an experienced worker, this course ensures you remain compliant with OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.146 & 1926 Subpart AA) while reinforcing best practices for workplace safety.

Non-Authorized Employee Confined Space Awareness Training Course Online

Permit-required confined spaces pose significant dangers, including toxic atmospheres, engulfment hazards, and oxygen deficiencies. While only trained and authorized personnel are allowed to enter these spaces, it is equally important for non-authorized employees to recognize confined spaces in their work environment and understand why they must never attempt entry.

This course is designed to provide awareness-level training for employees who work near permit-required confined spaces but are not authorized to enter or assist in entry operations. By covering OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.146 (General Industry) and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA (Construction) regulations, this course helps ensure compliance while reinforcing critical safety protocols that prevent accidents and unauthorized entry.
