Confined Space Safety: Helping keep workers safe from hazards associated with confined spaces

Confined Space Safety: Helping keep workers safe from hazards associated with confined spaces

From potentially toxic atmospheres, to physically hazardous conditions such as extreme temperatures, unstable materials, or the potential for falls, confined spaces often present unseen challenges.

No two confined spaces are exactly alike. Type, size and hazards vary greatly, along with different standards, regulations and company policies that can apply to each working environment. Join 3M Canada as one of their technical experts dives deeply into how to identify confined spaces and how to help protect workers in these environments.

This webinar will cover:

  • How to identify a confined space
  • Where confined spaces are typically found
  • Common types of confined spaces
  • Hazards workers may face in a confined space, including physical and atmospheric hazards
  • Regulations and standards surrounding confined space safety
  • How to choose the right type of respiratory protection for your environment
