### What is Confined Space Training and Who Needs it?

Confined spaces present potential hazards that could harm you or others working around you. The **Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) **requires all workers who may perform duties in a confined space to receive essential training under **Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.146 “Permit-Required Confined Spaces.”** This training promotes a safe work environment and explains the proper procedures for working within them. Workers must complete this training before performing their duties, and employers may need space safety training before allowing workers to enter a confined space.
