What are confined spaces?

Confined spaces are dangerous enclosed areas (though not always entirely). These areas are dangerous due to various hazards and risks which will be covered during the online confined spaces course. Numerous people are killed and/or seriously injured in confined spaces each year. Those killed include people working in the confined space and those who try to rescue them. Anyone working in confined spaces should have the required skills, knowledge, and training to keep themselves and others safe.
