Tracks: Implementation and Operation
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it necessary to use alternative methods to practice rescue from permit-required confined spaces and other confined spaces. OSHA regulations require employees entering confined spaces to undergo annual refresher training. In this session, you’ll learn about using mechanical means of rescue to help maintain physical distancing protocols and reduce employee contact during training. We’ll talk about the equipment needed to perform mechanical rescue and the use of ropes for positioning employees going in and out of the confined space. You’ll receive checklists and other handouts.
