NYC SST 1-HOUR CONFINED SPACE ENTRY

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Construction workers often perform tasks in confined spaces such as sewers, manholes, crawlspaces, and tanks. These spaces can present safety challenges, including how to exit in an emergency, exposure to toxic substances, electrocutions, explosions, and asphyxiation. THIS IS AN AWARENESS LEVEL TRAINING ONLY and does not provide any other qualification or authorization outside of the Site Safety Training Card.
