• The importance and value of a work permit system
• Why it is essential to continually monitor a confined space
• When to conduct lockout
• Review the new Confined Space Regulations
• Optional Extension: Actual Entry into one of client’s pre-selected* confined spaces
  • Participants will practice vertical and/or horizontal entry and retrieval, plus they’ll practice using the equipment, PPE and tools required for confined space entry.
  • Entry will include a hazard assessment and use of Entry permit.
