Participants in this webinar will first learn why 60% of confined space fatalities occur when responding to and attempting to rescue victims from confined spaces. Presenters will then identify the root causes of these fatalities and offer some practical solutions for safely responding to confined space emergencies.
Learning Objectives:
- Review previous incidents that resulted in fatalities or severe injuries.
- Explore the need for a comprehensive confined space entry and rescue plan.
- Illustrate and discuss lessons learned plus pre-planning pitfalls.
- Identify the role of the industrial hygienist (IH) within the National Incident Management System (NIMS) structure.
It is time to stop accepting this terrible and very telling statistic by exploring its causal factors and developing some real-world, risk-reduction measures that we can apply the next time we engage in confined space work. Come join us in no longer accepting 60% as the status quo!
