Confined Spaces

Confined spaces may include manholes, silos, storage tanks, pipelines, vaults, and duct work.  Cornell's Department of EH&S has worked to develop a Confined Space Entry Program in the understanding that University employees may be asked to perform work in these spaces.  EH&S's Confined Space training course covers OSHA regulations that govern confined spaces, hazard evaluation and elimination, air monitoring procedures, the use of safety equipment, and proper documentation.  They can even survey and evaluate your facility's confined spaces.  Contact EH&S, 255-8200 for additional information or to schedule confined space training for your department.
