Description

This CLS: Safety Awareness—Confined Spaces course trains workers on how to use the OODA Loop to protect themselves and their coworkers against potential hazards when working in and around confined spaces on construction job sites. As they become more familiar with the four steps of the OODA Loop, workers will learn to **Observe** the work area for signs of hazards related to confined spaces, **Orient** to hazards and ask themselves how they can mitigate them, **Decide** on the safest course of action, and **Act** to eliminate any risk. Topics include confined space permits, hazardous atmospheres, ventilation, rescue plans, and common confined space hazards. At the end of the course, workers will put their learning to the test by entering our OODA Loop simulator, where they will go through each step of the OODA Loop to find and mitigate hazards in a 3D construction environment.

Objectives

  • Use the OODA Loop to recognize and mitigate hazards in and around confined spaces
  • Describe general requirements for entry into confined spaces
  • Distinguish between a permit-required confined space and a non-permit-required confined space
  • Describe the basic requirements for testing the atmosphere within a confined space
  • Define the three forms of ventilation
  • Explain when to use air-supplying or air-purifying respirators
  • Recognize engulfment hazards and configuration/entrapment hazards

Certificate

By completing/passing this course, you will attain the certificate Certificate of Completion
