Informative video. The industry could use more of these types of videos in lots more subjects. Good info can save lives and save money. Thanks for sharing!
Very informative video. I live in country were equivalent of OHSA does not clearly explain about such places. In my old tenements building attic place was confined space therefore administration ordered to remove any things storaged there and made it open area for safe enter by chimney-sweep or mechanics to work on roof. Also in barge once I broke a leg on tight stairs during work, they shouldn't allow to use such stairs (it was a café and music club on a barge).
Had a boss that argued with me that the dry well of a fairly deep lift station wasn't a confined space because it had stairs out of it. I kept saying spiral stairs don't count. Of course he also tired using the rescue tripod to lift a pump out of the pit and didn't understand why it didnt go back down after activating the handle. Glad I am out of that place.
June 17, 2014 fatality at Holcim Cement, Midlothian, TX--due to confined space violation. Cement tanker driver climbed into the middle tank of his tanker trailer. Cement got loaded in on top of him. By the time responders got to him, the damage was done and he was pronounded dead shortly after.
The stated purpose of this free online tutorial is strictly for identifying confined spaces. As explained in the tutorial, once you identify your confined spaces, you must take additional steps to determine which, if any, are permit required. To do that, you can refer to the OSHA confined spaces standard (1910.146), or you can learn how to t=identify permit spaces by taking our comprehensive online confined spaces course available at www.oshatraining.com/online-confined-space-entry-training-course.php . Best wishes.
hamid ali khan There is no minimum depth. you must look at all circumstances. Example: employees must work under a truck scale (used for weighing freight trucks). the scale is almost at surface level, but has an underbelly that is 3 feet deep. This space is not designed for human occupancy, had limited means of access/egress, and can be "bodily entered" by workers. This would classify it as a confined space.
These free tutorials are so helpful and are very fantastic!! Thank you all for posting these! ❤
Thanks for such Tutorials 💯❤️🤝

You are correct - spiral stairs do not count, means they are a restricted means of entry/egress, therefore it is a confined space
