Hands-On with Confined Spaces and OSHA’s Proposed Silica Rule
Attendees will gain an understanding of OSHA’s permit-required confined space standard, how to safely
enter permitted spaces, and the role of the confined space rescue team. A hands-on tour of a mobile
Confined Space Rescue trailer and Q&A session will be included.
Workers who inhale microscopic crystalline silica particles are at increased risk of developing silicosis, an
incurable, sometimes fatal ,lung disease. Find out if your workplace performs jobs that are an inhalation
risk, learn about respiratory protection, and understand proposed improved worker protection changes.
