This is a Migna Safety Solutions course with a Migna certificate of completion. It is not OSHA Outreach Training and does not include a Department of Labor card.

Confined spaces kill workers who didn't know they were in one — and the coworkers who went in after them. This awareness course teaches you to recognize confined and permit-required spaces, understand the atmospheric and physical hazards, follow the testing and ventilation sequence, know the entrant/attendant/supervisor roles and the permit itself, understand isolation and lockout of the space, and respect the one rule that prevents multiple-fatality incidents. Covers both the general industry standard (1910.146) and the construction standard (1926 Subpart AA). Awareness level: authorized entrants, attendants, and supervisors need additional employer-specific training on your permit program. Issues a Migna certificate of completion.

Seat time is enforced on our servers. The clock is calculated from signed progress events rather than in your browser, so it cannot be sped up — a certificate that states 35 minutes of training means it. The 51 minutes shown above is that gate plus the quizzes and final exam, which are not on the clock.

This certificate does not expire on a clock

The standard behind this course sets no fixed retraining interval, so we do not print one. Retraining is triggered by events instead — a new hazard, a changed process, or an observed deficiency. Your employer or insurer may set their own interval, which is a real obligation but not a federal one.
