Training Requirements
It's important the employer provides training so all employees who are required to perform confined space entry operations acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of their duties in confined spaces.
The employer must provide training to each affected employee.
Training Triggers
Training should be provided to each affected employee:
- before the employee is first assigned duties under this section;
- whenever the employee demonstrates inadequate knowledge;
- before there is a change in assigned duties;
- whenever there is a change in permit space operations that presents a hazard for which an employee has not been trained;
- whenever there are deviations from the permit space entry procedures.
The training should establish employee proficiency in his or her confined space entry procedures and the task being performed within the confined space.
