A confined space is any space that is not intended for continuous human occupancy and has limited or restricted means for entry or exit. Many industrial workplace environments contain confined spaces, such as storage tanks, manholes, pits, silos, vats, and pipes. Employees who work in confined spaces face the risk of serious injury or death due to hazardous atmospheres, entrapment, or engulfment. As a result, employers must take steps to protect workers by providing them with safe entry procedures and proper training.
One type of training that can be used to educate workers about confined spaces is called a confined space training container. These containers are specially designed to simulate real-life confined space environments. They can be used to teach workers about the dangers of confined spaces and how to safely enter and exit them. Confined space training containers can also be used to provide hands-on experience in identifying and responding to hazards. By using these containers, employers can provide their employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to work safely in confined spaces.
