Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?
There is a common myth “Just Google it”
It is a myth that you can simply Google for Confined Space information and get everything that you need to know.
Most likely you will get a large number of occupational safety articles and information, some videos, some power point slides, but much of the information may be in bits and pieces.
While you can get some basic information about confined space safety from these sources, it may not be complete. Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.
Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from an OSHA compliance perspective
Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!
