Fremont, CA: MentorHealth, a provider of professional trainings for all aspects of the healthcare industry, will organize a webinar on October 28. The topic of this webinar is “Confined Space Entry”, and the speaker is Dr. Kenneth S. Weinberg, an independent consultant in environmental health and safety.
About the webinar:
A confined space in a workplace is defined as a place in which not more than one person may enter or exit at any given point of time. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has defined such a space as a hazardous one, because it offers tremendous scope for injury.
OSHA has regulations for the way such workplaces are to be administered. A space with a confined entry and exit situation is subject to these regulations.
