HAZWOPER Confined Space Entry Safety Training Video

This safety video program on HAZWOPER Confined Space Entry is designed to help employees understand how to reduce or eliminate potential exposure to hazardous materials in confined space work environments as required by OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120).

Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these materials receive comprehensive training in this area.

In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste from cradle to grave. Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.

Areas covered in the safety video program include:

• definitions of confined spaces,
• hazards encountered in confined spaces,
• OSHAs permit-space entry program,
• duties and responsibilities of the entry team,
• atmospheric testing,
• protecting entrants in hazardous atmospheres,
• the use of lifelines in rescue operations, and more.

The safety video program comes with a quiz, a scheduling and attendance form, a training certificate, and an employee training log.
