Confined Spaces in Construction
Event Date: July 24, 2015
On May 4, 2015, OSHA issued a new standard for construction work in confined spaces, which will be effective starting August 3, 2015. Confined spaces can present physical and atmospheric hazards that can be avoided if they are recognized and addressed prior to entering these spaces to perform work. The new standard, Subpart AA of 29 CFR 1926 will help prevent construction workers from being hurt or killed by eliminating and isolating hazards in confined spaces at construction sites similar to the way workers in other industries are already protected.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore specific elements of the new standard
- Discuss how the construction standard differs from the general industry standard
- Review what can be done to help your company maintain compliance with the new rules
Who should participate?
