Frequently Asked Questions:
Who regulates confined space entry requirements for employers in Baltimore?
Maryland operates an OSHA-approved State Plan covering most private sector workers and all state and local government workers in Baltimore. Federal and Maryland State OSHA confined space entry standards for general industry (29 CFR 1910.146) and construction (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) require privately-owned businesses, non-profit organizations, and affected governmental organizations in the Baltimore area to implement a comprehensive confined space entry program. This includes providing confined space training for all affected workers involved in confined space work.
When must confined space training be provided to Baltimore employees?
For construction work, training must be provided before an employee's first assignment to confined space duties under 29 CFR 1926.1207. Additional training is required before any change in assigned duties, whenever entry operations change in ways that present new hazards, and when there is reason to believe previous training was not effective. For general industry work under 29 CFR 1910.146, the same triggers apply: before first assignment, before duty changes, and when needed to maintain proficiency.
What training options are available for Baltimore employers?
We offer both on-site classes and online courses for Baltimore employers. On-site training brings a qualified instructor to your facility to train your group, with content tailored to either 29 CFR 1910.146 for general industry or 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA for construction.
