It is essential to recognize when a confined space requires a permit. The key difference lies in the presence or potential presence of hazards. Permit-required spaces have significant risks that require written permits and detailed safety protocols. Non-permit spaces, while safer, must still be inspected and managed carefully to ensure they remain hazard-free.
After this course, you will be able to identify a confined space when a permit is required to enter one, hazards found in confined spaces, and the process of entering a permitted confined space.
