Confined spaces contain hazards that workers cannot see, smell, or detect without proper training. Ontario law requires employers to train workers before they enter any tank, pit, vault, silo, or other enclosed space. This Confined Space Training course teaches workers how to assess hazards, test the air, complete entry permits, control risks, and prepare for emergencies. Achieve Safety provides practical, Ontario compliant training for construction, industrial, municipal, and facility workers across the province.
Confined Space Training helps workers understand the dangers of enclosed or restricted areas where hazardous conditions can develop quickly. The course follows Ontario’s Confined Spaces Regulation and teaches the legal requirements for hazard assessments, entry planning, atmospheric testing, and rescue preparation.
Workers learn why confined spaces are dangerous and how to protect themselves by following safe entry procedures. Achieve Safety delivers training using real equipment and practical demonstrations that match the conditions workers face on job sites.This 8 hour course will enable workers to learn about the legal requirements for confined space work as per Ontario regulation 632/05.
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
By the end of this course, This training builds strong competency and helps employers meet their legal duties during Ministry of Labour inspections.Workers will learn how to:
Supervisors must also understand confined space hazards so they can monitor and manage safe entry procedures. Confined Space Training is required for:
A confined space must meet all of the following conditions:
Common examples include tanks, boilers, maintenance vaults, sewers, silos, manholes, storage bins, and process vessels.
After the course, workers receive confined space certification recognized across Ontario. Employers must ensure training remains current by reviewing procedures, performing refreshers, and documenting all entries, permits, and assessments. Inspectors often request proof of training and entry permits during site visits. Achieve Safety stores digital records and provides refresher training when needed.
Yes. Workers must be trained before entering any confined space or acting as standby or rescue personnel.
Ontario does not set a fixed expiry, but employers must provide refresher training when hazards, procedures, or job tasks change.
Yes. Workers practice air testing, equipment setup, communication methods, and safe entry procedures.
Any worker who enters a tank, pit, vault, silo, manhole, or enclosed space, as well as supervisors and standby personnel.
Yes. Achieve Safety offers on site, group, and workplace specific confined space training across the province.
Ontario Confined Space Awareness Training introduces workers to the hazards and legal requirements associated with working in confined spaces as defined under Ontario Regulation 632/05.
Confined spaces are enclosed or restricted areas where hazardous conditions can develop rapidly due to limited ventilation, restricted entry and exit, or the presence of dangerous substances. This course explains why confined spaces are dangerous and outlines the legal requirements for hazard assessment, entry planning, atmospheric testing, and emergency preparedness.
This eight hour course helps workers understand how confined space procedures are applied in real work environments. Achieve Safety delivers training using practical demonstrations and equipment that reflect the conditions workers encounter on job sites.
This course provides awareness level training focused on confined space hazards, regulatory requirements, and safe entry expectations under Ontario law.
By the end of this 8-hour course, participants will be able to:
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
This course is designed for individuals who may be exposed to confined space hazards or involved in confined space activities and require awareness training under Ontario Regulation 632/05.
For workers who may be required to enter confined spaces or work in areas classified as confined spaces. Training helps workers understand hazards, entry requirements, and safe work expectations.
For supervisors who oversee confined space activities and must understand confined space hazards, procedures, and regulatory responsibilities.
For employers responsible for ensuring confined space hazards are identified, procedures are in place, and workers receive appropriate training.
For individuals assigned to confined space standby or rescue roles who require awareness of confined space risks and emergency response expectations.
Confined spaces must be properly identified based on enclosure, restricted entry or exit, and the potential presence of hazardous conditions as defined under Ontario Regulation 632/05.
Before any confined space entry, hazards must be assessed, including atmospheric risks, engulfment hazards, and other conditions that could endanger workers.
Confined space work requires documented entry procedures and emergency response planning to address foreseeable hazards and rescue scenarios.
Confined space work is subject to specific legal requirements under Ontario Regulation 632/05 due to the high risk associated with restricted spaces and hazardous atmospheres.
During inspections or compliance reviews, Ministry of Labour inspectors assess whether confined spaces have been properly identified and whether workers and supervisors understand the hazards and procedures associated with confined space entry.
Inspectors routinely check for:
Identification and classification of confined spaces under Ontario Regulation 632/05
Completion of hazard assessments prior to confined space entry
Use of appropriate atmospheric monitoring and safety equipment
Awareness of confined space entry procedures and permits
Understanding of emergency and rescue planning requirements
This course supports confined space awareness by providing clear guidance on regulatory requirements and inspection expectations.
Secure Your Future.
This course provides a Record of Training (ROT) confirming that the participant has completed Confined Space Awareness training aligned with Ontario Regulation 632/05.
While this is not a government issued certification, the Record of Training is commonly used by employers to document that workers and supervisors have received formal awareness training related to confined space hazards and entry requirements.
Training records support employer documentation and may be requested during inspections or compliance reviews.
Confined space work carries a high level of risk and is closely reviewed by regulators due to the potential for serious injury or fatality.
Providing confined space awareness training helps organizations demonstrate due diligence by ensuring workers understand confined space hazards, legal requirements, and safe entry expectations.
After completing this course, participants have a clearer understanding of confined space hazards and regulatory expectations.
Workers leave with awareness of:
This course explained confined space hazards in a way that actually made sense. I feel much more aware of what to look out for before entering.
The training broke down the regulations clearly and helped me understand why the procedures matter. Easy to follow and well explained.
I didn’t realize how quickly confined spaces can become dangerous. This course really helped me understand the risks and expectations.
Experts also agree this course provides essential confined space awareness for Ontario workplaces.
Yes. Workers must be trained before entering any confined space or acting as standby or rescue personnel.
Ontario does not set a fixed expiry, but employers must provide refresher training when hazards, procedures, or job tasks change.
Yes. Workers practice air testing, equipment setup, communication methods, and safe entry procedures.
Any worker who enters a tank, pit, vault, silo, manhole, or enclosed space, as well as supervisors and standby personnel.
Yes. Achieve Safety offers on site, group, and workplace specific confined space training across the province.
