Confined Space Ventilation: What is right, and how can I get there?
Confined spaces, as defined by OSHA, may be found in virtually every workplace. When employee entry into those spaces is required, the employer must ensure safe entry. This means evaluating for existing and potential physical and atmospheric hazards. When an atmospheric hazard is found, or may develop, proper ventilation is needed. This webinar will explore proper ventilation sizing, set-up, purge time, and more, to help ensure a safer workplace.
