The topics are explained thoroughly, accompanied by relevant images and activities to facilitate easy understanding by the learner. Each module concludes with a summary and upon completion of the course there’s a final test to assess your understanding of the topic.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS) – CONFINED SPACE TRAINING ONLINE COURSE OUTLINE
1. INTRODUCTION TO CONFINED SPACES
Confined spaces are areas with limited entry and exit points, often not designed for continuous human occupancy and may pose hazards due to their enclosed nature. Examples of confined spaces include tanks, vessels, silos, sewers, tunnels, and utility vaults.
2. UNDERSTANDING AND IDENTIFYING CONFINED SPACES
1. Characteristics of confined spaces
2. Differentiating between confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces
3. Identification of common confined spaces in various industries
3. CONFINED SPACE HAZARDS
Confined space hazards refer to the various risks and dangers present within confined spaces, which are typically small or enclosed areas with limited access and egress. These hazards can include:
1. Overview of potential hazards encountered in confined spaces
2. Atmospheric hazards (e.g., oxygen deficiency, toxic gases)
3. Physical hazards (e.g., engulfment, entrapment)
4. Biological hazards (e.g., presence of bacteria, viruses)
4. ATMOSPHERIC TESTING AND MONITORING
Atmospheric testing and monitoring involve the systematic evaluation and measurement of the air within confined spaces to assess its safety for human occupancy.
1. Importance of atmospheric testing before entry
2. Principles of gas detection and monitoring
3. Interpretation of gas monitor readings
4. Frequency and methods of atmospheric testing
5. ENTRY PERMITS SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES
Entry permit systems and procedures are protocols put in place to ensure the safe entry of workers into confined spaces.
1. Purpose and importance of confined space entry permits
2. Components of a confined space entry permit
3. Roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in the permitting process
4. Procedures for obtaining and completing entry permits
6. PREPARING TO ENTER CONFINED SPACES
Preparing to enter confined spaces involves comprehensive planning and preparation to ensure the safety of workers who will be entering these potentially hazardous environments.
1. Pre-entry procedures and checklist
2. Equipment inspection and preparation
3. Personal protective equipment (PPE) selection and use
4. Communication and coordination with entry team members
7. TRAINING AND DUTIES OF THE CONFINED SPACE ENTRY TEAM
Training and clearly defining roles and responsibilities, the confined space entry team can work together cohesively to ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents in confined spaces.
1. Training requirements for confined space entry team members
2. Roles and responsibilities of the entry supervisor, entrants, and attendants
3. Emergency procedures and rescue protocols
4. Effective communication and teamwork strategies within the entry team
8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to specialized clothing, gear, and equipment designed to protect individuals from hazards and risks present in their work environment.
1. Selection and use of appropriate PPE for confined space work
2. Techniques for confined space rescue and emergency response
3. Hands-on training exercises and simulations for rescue scenarios
