Product Details
Description
This OSHA permit-required confined space certification course provides comprehensive safety training based on 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA regulations specifically designed for construction workers. Learn to identify confined spaces, recognize hazardous atmospheres, understand permit systems, and implement effective entry procedures for manholes, tanks, vessels, pits, silos, storage bins, and HVAC ducts commonly encountered on construction sites.
Get trained in construction confined space safety and master the critical procedures required by OSHA for multi-employer worksites where conditions change as projects progress. This standard, effective since August 3, 2015, is estimated to prevent nearly 800 serious construction worker injuries annually.

OSHA Training Requirements | 29 CFR 1926.1207
When Confined Space Training Is Required:
- Before first assignment to duties involving permit spaces
- Before any change in assigned duties
- When permit space operations change presenting new hazards
- When inadequacies in knowledge or procedures are observed
- When construction phases change creating new confined spaces
- When new hazards are introduced due to construction progression
- As refresher training per employer policy (annual recommended)
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does confined space training take?
This online permit-required confined space certification takes approximately 3 hours to complete, including the final exam. You can work at your own pace and pause/resume as needed.
What score do I need to pass?
You must achieve a minimum score of 70% on the final assessment. You have up to 3 attempts to pass.
What is the acceptable oxygen range for confined space entry?
OSHA defines acceptable oxygen concentration as between 19.5% and 23.5%. Below 19.5% is oxygen deficient; above 23.5% is oxygen enriched with increased fire hazard. Entry without respiratory protection requires oxygen levels within this acceptable range.
What is the correct order for atmospheric testing?
OSHA requires testing in this specific order: (1) Oxygen first, (2) Flammable gases and vapors second, (3) Toxic gases and vapors third. This sequence is critical because oxygen levels affect the accuracy of tests for other gases.
How is construction confined space training different from general industry?
The construction standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) includes specific requirements for multi-employer worksite coordination, controlling contractor responsibilities, and continuous worksite evaluation as construction progresses—elements not emphasized in the general industry standard (29 CFR 1910.146).
What are the roles on a confined space entry team?
Three key roles are required: (1) Entry Supervisor who authorizes entry and oversees operations, (2) Authorized Entrants who physically enter the space, and (3) Attendants who remain outside to monitor entrants and summon rescue if needed.
How often must rescue teams practice confined space rescues?
OSHA requires rescue team members to practice making permit space rescues at least once every 12 months in spaces that simulate the types of permit spaces from which rescue may be performed.
