Scope, Terms, and General Requirements Chapter 1
This chapter introduces the foundational elements of OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.146 standard, including key definitions, the scope of the regulation, and general employer obligations. Participants will learn how confined spaces are defined, the criteria for permit-required confined spaces, and the overall framework for compliance. This section establishes the terminology and regulatory structure necessary to understand and implement a compliant confined space entry program in general industry settings.
Employer Responsibilities, Communication and Coordination Chapter 2
This chapter outlines employer responsibilities under OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.146 standard, with a focus on communication and coordination requirements. Participants will learn how employers must inform employees about confined space hazards, coordinate entry operations when multiple employers are involved, and ensure proper information exchange before and during entry. Emphasis is placed on maintaining clear procedures and communication practices to support safe and compliant confined space operations.
Program Requirements Chapter 3
This lesson explains the required components of a permit-required confined space program under 29 CFR 1910.146. Participants will review written program elements, hazard evaluation procedures, entry permits, and required documentation. The lesson emphasizes how employers must develop, implement, and maintain an effective confined space program to ensure regulatory compliance and worker safety.
Permit-Required Confined Space Entry Permitting Chapter 4
This lesson focuses on the entry permit system and its role in controlling confined space hazards. Participants will learn the required contents of an entry permit, authorization procedures, duration limits, and cancellation requirements. The lesson highlights how proper permitting helps verify that hazards are identified, controlled, and monitored before and during entry operations.
Roles and Responsibilities Chapter 5
This lesson defines the duties of authorized entrants, attendants, entry supervisors, and other personnel involved in confined space operations. Participants will gain an understanding of individual responsibilities and how each role contributes to safe entry, hazard monitoring, and emergency response.
Training and Employee Participation Chapter 6
This lesson reviews OSHA training requirements for employees who work in or around permit-required confined spaces. Participants will learn when training is required, what topics must be covered, and how employee participation strengthens confined space safety programs. The lesson also addresses documentation and retraining considerations.
Atmospheric Testing and Ventilation Chapter 7
This lesson covers atmospheric hazards commonly found in confined spaces and the procedures used to evaluate and control them. Participants will learn about testing order, monitoring equipment, acceptable entry conditions, and ventilation requirements to maintain a safe atmosphere before and during entry.
Controlling Hazardous Energy Chapter 8
This lesson examines hazardous energy sources that may be present in confined spaces, including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and chemical energy. Participants will review isolation procedures and lockout/tagout principles to prevent unexpected energization or release of stored energy during entry operations.
Rescue and Emergency Services Chapter 9
This lesson outlines OSHA requirements for rescue planning and emergency response. Participants will learn the differences between non-entry and entry rescue, employer responsibilities for selecting and evaluating rescue services, and the importance of coordination and preparedness in confined space emergencies.
Summary Chapter 10
This final lesson reinforces key concepts covered throughout the course, including regulatory requirements, hazard control measures, roles and responsibilities, and program implementation. Participants will review critical compliance elements to support safe confined space entry operations in general industry settings.
