Our Confined Space Supervisor Training course is designed to support the training of confined space supervisors working in construction or other industrial settings. As we know, confined spaces pose various life-threatening risks that must be addressed through informed supervision, planning, and strict adherence to OSHA regulations. In the absence of proper oversight and supervision, employees may be exposed to various hazards such as oxygen-deficient environments, toxic gases, engulfment risks, and other hazardous conditions.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), between 2011 and 2018, 1,030 American employees lost their lives due to occupational injuries occurring in confined spaces. Other incidents often cited by OSHA further signify the accidents that occur in confined space operations.
To address these grave concerns, we have structured our Confined Space Supervisor Training course to equip individuals with supervisory responsibilities to fulfil the requirements of OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910.146 and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA. It is designed to build practical skills and confidence to supervise confined space work.

Frequently Asked Questions
This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements outlined in OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA and 29 CFR 1910.146.
Confined spaces are often dangerous because they complicate quick exits during emergencies and restrict your movement while you are inside.
Additionally, their design obstructs effective communication and rescue efforts. Furthermore, limited airflow facilitates the accumulation of heat, gas, and other dangers in confined spaces.
This OSHA Confined Spaces Entry Supervisor Training is significant because it:
- Ensures that entry supervisors understand the dangers of working in confined spaces and authorize safe entries.
- Reduces the risk of injuries and fatalities in confined spaces by adhering to OSHA regulations.
- Explains what to do during confined space emergencies.
- Gives information on how to put safety measures in place and ensure safe work practices.
- Our training is aligned with current Federal OSHA regulations for confined spaces, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA and 29 CFR 1910.146.
- It covers a range of topics, including entry authorization, permit verification, and rescue procedures for supervisors.
- Experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of confined spaces, their hazards, and prevention are part of the team that develops this course.
- Certificate of completion is provided upon successful completion, demonstrating compliance with OSHA supervisory training requirements.
- Available in flexible formats such as online, virtual instructor-led, and in-person training to suit your needs.
- Supervisors and managers who are responsible for overseeing confined space operations.
- Safety officers and compliance managers
- Entry supervisors who authorize permits
- Workers assigned to confined space entry or rescue teams
- Confined Space Competent Persons
There are no prerequisites for this course.
OSHA's confined space standards do not specify a specific timeline for training renewal or refresher training, unlike some other OSHA regulations. However, industry best practices suggest providing entry supervisors with Confined Space Training at least once every two years.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your certificate in PDF format.
Validity: The course certificate is valid for two years.
Renewal: Entry Supervisors must renew or retake the course every two years to maintain compliance and stay up to date with current best practices.
