Confined spaces are not new to the construction industry, but the regulations protecting the workers who enter those confined spaces are. In May of this year, OSHA released 29CFR1926, Subpart AA, an addition to the standard that governs safety in the construction industry dealing with work in permit-required confined spaces. This webinar will focus on the requirements of the construction standard for atmospheric testing in confined spaces. The presentation will also compare the new requirements to the better-known requirements of the general industry standard and best practices for confined space entry, paying particular attention to requirements for pre-entry testing and continuous monitoring of atmospheres in confined spaces.
