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.
