Description
Confined space work can turn dangerous fast when roles are unclear, permits are incomplete, or people react on impulse instead of following the plan. The Permits, Roles, & Safe Rescue course helps learners understand how safe confined space entry is supported before work even begins through communication, preparation, and knowing when to stop. Learners build the judgment needed to recognize when conditions have changed and why following the permit and rescue plan matters.
Drawn from OSHA Standard: 1910.146, 1926.1202 - 1926.1213, and industry best practices.
An interactive simulation is included. Understanding the types of confined spaces and rescue requirements can mean the difference between a close call and a tragedy. In this simulation, you'll observe how the Entrant and Attendant carry out their roles across different confined space scenarios, learning when it's safe to enter, when to suspend a permit, and how to respond when something goes wrong.

Permit Required Confined Space (PRCS) The Types and Rescue Requirements describe the roles and duties of the authorized entrant, attendant, and supervisor.
Additional topics include the two types of confined spaces, the use of appropriate PPE and retrieval devices based on the hazards of the space, and different entry rescue service options.
An interactive simulation is included where the learner plays the role of the attendant. The attendant's objective is to perform pre-entry checks, review the entry permit, communicate with the entrant, assess whether or not it is safe for the entrant to enter the space, evaluate and respond to hazards, approve or suspend the entry permit, and perform rescue from outside the PRCS.
