CONFINED SPACE ATTENDANT TRAINING
It is a well known fact that working in a confined space is always dangerous if appropriate control measures are not taken to prevent any unexpected dangerous occurrence inside the confined space. Sometimes people perform activities inside a confined space without having knowledge of the dangers present and encountering them, such as a toxic atmosphere, the presence of flammable and explosive gases, and an inappropriate oxygen level. To prevent such incidents in confined spaces, it is very important to assign a competent confined space attendant.

A confined space attendant is one who warns the entrants of any serious conditions, monitors the entrants, summons a rescue workforce, and guards the confined space against prohibited entry. The responsibilities of confined space attendant are:

• Monitor the atmospheric conditions in the confined space during and before the entry.
• The accessibility of confined spaces is controlled by the attendant.
• Conduct the atmospheric test and record it.
• Monitor the entrants during the job for entry and exit to ensure their safety.
• Gives emergency assistance to summon rescue team as needed.
• Keep records of confined space work.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
The Confined Space Attendant training designed to explain the hazards and risks associated with confined space activities. After training, the assigned confined space attendant will be able to monitor inside and outside confined spaces and take precautionary measures as per the situation so that an effective confined space program can be established and maintained.

LEARNING OUTCOME
On completion of this training, the participants will be familiar with the following:
