This course is designed to help fire service organizations meet the demands general industry has
concerning confined space entry and rescue. General industry has been under pressure to
comply with federal regulations established in OSHA’s standard Permit-Required Confined
Spaces for General Industry, 29 CFR 1910.146. This standard either requires general industry
to develop a rescue team within the organization, or to have a written agreement with an outside
organization who will respond to the industrial site within specific time frames to perform rescue
functions. This course will address lock-out/tag-out, ventilation, air monitoring, protective clothing, rescue
equipment, patient packaging, patient removal from confined spaces, and supplied air breathing apparatus.
Students Must Pass Entrance Skills On The First Day To Continue In Course. Students must achieve a
70% or greater on exams at Awareness, Operation and Technician Level as well as practical skills testing to
receive a certificate.
