Course Description
This is Part Nine of a 13-part series of modules on HAZWOPER designed to provide the annual refresher training
as required by OSHA for all employees affected by this regulation. Part Nine covers confined spaces. Many work
environments contain spaces that are considered confined because their shape and size make conditions
difficult for employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. There are many instances where employees who
work in confined spaces face increased risk of exposure to serious hazards that could result in serious injury or
death. For this reason, special procedures must be followed when working in confined spaces and they are
reviewed in this module.
