Confined Space Competent Person Training in Ohio.
For the people who will identify confined spaces on your jobs, evaluate their hazards, and oversee entries. This in-person class covers recognizing a confined space, permits, atmospheric testing, the roles in an entry, and how rescue is planned before anyone goes in.
Before Anyone Goes In
On a construction site, confined spaces show up in places crews don't always think of as dangerous: vaults, manholes, tanks, crawl spaces, pits, and sometimes excavations. The class teaches your people to recognize them, work out what could go wrong inside, and put the controls, the monitoring, and the rescue plan in place before an entry starts.
- What makes a space a confined space, and what makes it permit-required
- Identifying, evaluating, and controlling confined space hazards
- Atmospheric testing before and throughout an entry
- Entry permits and the other entry forms, filled out and cancelled
- The roles of the Entry Supervisor, Entrants, Attendants, and rescue
- Rescue planning, and hands-on work with monitoring and retrieval equipment

Confined Space Training in EM 385-1-1
The 2024 manual defines a confined space as one large enough to bodily enter and perform work, with limited or restricted means of entry and exit, and not designed for continuous occupancy (paragraph 34-2.c). It is permit-required when it has, or could have, a hazardous atmosphere, an engulfment hazard, an internal shape that could trap someone, or any other recognized serious hazard (paragraph 34-2.q).
The manual's construction roles are the Entry Supervisor, a qualified person who determines whether acceptable entry conditions exist and authorizes, oversees, and ends the entry (paragraph 34-2.i), along with Entrants, Attendants, and rescue personnel. Initial training has to cover recognizing confined spaces, their hazards and exposures, evacuation warnings, entry roles, permits, rescue exercises for the spaces on site, and hands-on work with monitoring, communication, and retrieval equipment (paragraph 34-3.b). Everyone in those roles completes refresher training at least annually (paragraph 34-3.c).
On a federal job, tell us which of those roles your people will fill and we'll make sure the class covers them.
