Confined Space Training: Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
The rules that deal with confined space training are clear. Entrants and attendants may need to know a lot about medical issues. (This is one of many issues we discuss in our Confined Space Train the Trainer classes).

OSHA's Permit-required Confined Space Standard lays it out in detail:

(h) Duties of Authorized Entrants - The employer shall ensure that all authorized entrants: (1) Know the hazards that may be faced during entry, including information on the mode, signs or symptoms, and consequences of the exposure;
Attendants need that knowledge along with being aware of "possible behavioral effects of hazard exposure in authorized entrants." [1910.146 (i)(2)]

Learning all the signs and symptoms of hazard exposure can be challenging.

For a trainer that can be a challenge. While it's easy to read through a list of signs and symptoms on a PowerPoint slide, how can you ensure that your entrants and attendants actually know this information? Will they be able to recall it if needed?
