Introduction Chapter 1
This chapter provides an overview of confined space hazards in construction and introduces the regulatory framework under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA. Participants will learn key definitions, the purpose of confined space regulations, and the importance of hazard recognition. The lesson establishes foundational knowledge necessary to understand employer requirements and safe entry procedures.
Employer Responsibilities, Communication, and Coordination Chapter 2
This chapter outlines employer obligations for protecting workers who operate in or around confined spaces. Topics include hazard communication, coordination between controlling contractors and entry employers, and information sharing when multiple employers are present on a job site. Emphasis is placed on ensuring clear procedures and accountability to maintain compliance and worker safety.
Program Requirements Chapter 3
This chapter explains the required elements of a permit-required confined space program in construction. Participants will review written program components, hazard evaluation procedures, and documentation requirements. The lesson also addresses how employers must assess work sites to identify and classify confined spaces appropriately.
Permit-Required Confined Space Entry Permitting Chapter 4
This chapter covers the confined space entry permitting process, including how permits are issued, maintained, and canceled. Participants will learn the required information contained on entry permits, how to verify acceptable entry conditions, and the procedures necessary before authorizing entry into a permit-required space.
Roles and Responsibilities Chapter 5
This chapter defines the duties of authorized entrants, attendants, entry supervisors, competent persons, and other designated personnel. Participants will gain an understanding of how each role contributes to maintaining safe entry operations and regulatory compliance, including monitoring, oversight, and hazard response responsibilities.
Training and Employee Participation Chapter 6
This chapter explains OSHA training requirements for workers involved in confined space operations. Participants will learn when training is required, what topics must be covered, and how employee participation strengthens confined space safety programs. The lesson reinforces the importance of competency and ongoing evaluation.
Atmospheric Testing and Ventilation Chapter 7
This chapter focuses on atmospheric hazards commonly found in confined spaces, including oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, and flammable vapors. Participants will review proper atmospheric testing procedures, acceptable entry conditions, continuous monitoring requirements, and ventilation methods used to control hazardous atmospheres.
Controlling Hazardous Energy Chapter 8
This chapter addresses the identification and control of hazardous energy sources that may be present in confined spaces. Topics include lockout/tagout procedures, isolation of mechanical and electrical systems, and safeguarding workers from unexpected energy release during entry operations.
Rescue and Emergency Services Chapter 9
This chapter outlines OSHA requirements for rescue planning and emergency response. Participants will learn the differences between entry and non-entry rescue, the responsibilities of designated rescue personnel, and the need for proper equipment and annual rescue practice. The lesson emphasizes the importance of pre-entry planning to ensure rapid response in emergencies.
