Confined Space Awareness

Confined Space Training for Safe and Compliant Workplaces

Working in confined spaces presents serious hazards that require specialized knowledge, proper preparation, and strict compliance. At Continental Business Solutions, our Confined Space Training provides employees and supervisors with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to work safely, confidently, and in full alignment with OSHA standards.

We focus on practical, real-world training that equips workers to identify hazards, follow correct entry procedures, and respond effectively in the event of an emergency. Whether your team enters tanks, silos, pits, vaults, manholes, tunnels, or other restricted areas, our training ensures they are prepared, protected, and informed.
