Confined Space Awareness Course

Confined spaces and confined space incidents occur in all industries, including farming. 

The AgSafe Alberta Confined Space Awareness Course will teach you what restricted and confined spaces are, as well as help you learn how to identity these spaces on your farm and the hazards of them. It will also introduce you to some of the ways that the hazards of these spaces can be controlled before someone enters one. What makes this course different from many of the others available is that it is agriculture specific, it uses plain language wherever possible, and it provides practical examples relating to farming.  

This course is expected to take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete. For the best learning experience, it is recommended that this course be completed using a desktop computer, laptop computer, or tablet. 

What you will learn: 

  • Why you and your farm team need this course.
  • What restricted and confined spaces are, as well as tips to help you identify them.
  • Some common hazards and risks of confined spaces, as well as ways they may be controlled.
