Certified Confined Space Specialist (CCSS)

This course covers the safety and health hazards associated with permit-required confined space entry. Topics include the recognition of confined space hazards, identification of permit- and non-permit-required confined spaces, use of instrumentation to evaluate atmospheric hazards, ventilation techniques, development and implementation of a confined space program, proper signage, and training requirements.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to identify permit- and non-permit-required confined spaces, reference the OSHA Permit-Required Confined Spaces Standard, conduct atmospheric testing, and implement a permit-required confined space program.

The course is four (4) days in length, and student completion meets the training requirements specified under OSHA regulatory standards for attendants, confined space entry, and confined space entry supervisors.
