Enter Smart. Exit Safe. Stay Compliant.
Confined spaces pose serious risks, and only trained, authorized personnel should enter them. As part of GMG EnviroSafe’s In-Person Training Service, our Confined Space (Authorized Entrant) course prepares workers to recognize hazards, follow permit-entry procedures, and safely enter and exit confined spaces in compliance with OSHA 1910.146. Through instructor-led sessions and hands-on demonstrations, this training equips employees with the knowledge and confidence to do the job right, and return safely.
What's Included
Our in-person training prepares authorized entrants to work safely in confined spaces. Each session is built around real hazards, real procedures, and OSHA-compliant best practices, so your team knows exactly what to do, and why it matters.
Definition of Confined Spaces
Understand the difference between confined and permit-required spaces and how to identify each type on site.
Hazard Recognition & Assessment
Learn to recognize atmospheric, engulfment, entrapment, and mechanical hazards before and during entry.
Roles & Responsibilities Explained
Clarify the duties of entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors under a permit-required program.
Permit Systems & Entry Rules
Review how entry permits are issued, maintained, canceled, and verified before confined space entry.
Atmospheric Testing & Monitoring
Practice using monitors and tools to test air quality before and throughout the confined space entry.
Use of PPE & Entry Equipment
Learn about PPE such as harnesses, retrieval lines, ventilation gear, and communication devices.
Emergency Procedures Covered

Documentation & Certificates
Includes completion certificates and sign-in logs to meet OSHA’s documentation requirements.
Who Is This Service For
For Employees Required to Enter Confined Spaces as Part of Their Job
This course is designed for workers across industries such as construction, manufacturing, maintenance, wastewater, and environmental services who are designated as “authorized entrants” under a confined space permit program. If your team works in tanks, vaults, silos, manholes, or other permit-required confined spaces, this training is essential to keep them safe and compliant.

Why It Matters
Confined Spaces Can Be Fatal, Training Can Prevent That
Hazards in confined spaces aren’t always visible. Low oxygen, toxic gases, or engulfment dangers can quickly turn routine work into a life-threatening emergency. OSHA mandates that all entrants receive specific training before entering a permit-required confined space. GMG’s in-person training ensures your workers understand the dangers, follow the entry plan, and know how to respond if something goes wrong.
