Description

Objective:

The course objective is for the participant to be able to better follow standard entry procedures and evaluate the hazards of working in or around a confined space.This course utilizes the TEEX Mobil Confined Space Safety Trailer to provide students with hands-on training opportunities designed to help each perform confined space entry, assist workers with entry, or supervise employees assigned to make entry. In addition to learning the proper procedures for entering a confined space, participants will be able to better determine if entry into a confined space is permitted. During this training, students will have access to a 38-foot, OSHA compliant, self-contained mobile training unit. Scenario assignments will cover the procedures for testing potential atmospheric hazards, proper application of personal protective equipment, applicable safety equipment, safe performance of work in a confined space, the successful exit of a confined space, and non-entry rescue issues. The successful completion of this course qualifies the student to receive 20 hours of TCEQ water operators licensing credit, 20 hours of wastewater operators licensing credit, and 20 hours of BPAT licensing credit.
