Federal OSHA confined space entry standards for general industry (1910.146) and construction (1926 Subpart AA) require privately-owned businesses, non-profit organizations, and affected governmental organizations in Mississippi to implement a comprehensive confined space entry program for their employees who are involved in confined space entry work. A key element of that program is providing confined space training for all affected workers involved in confined space work. This includes all confined space entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors at general industry and construction work sites with permit-required confined spaces, as well as the competent person at construction sites.
Have a highly qualified instructor conduct an on site confined space training class for your group of employees in Mississippi. The confined space training can be based on the OSHA 1910.146 general industry standards for entering permit-required confined spaces, or the newer OSHA 1926 Subpart AA confined spaces for construction standards. This service is available to all employers located anywhere in Mississippi.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who regulates confined space entry requirements for employers in Mississippi?
Federal OSHA regulates confined space entry requirements for most private sector employers in Mississippi. Mississippi is not an OSHA-approved State Plan and is under federal OSHA jurisdiction, which covers privately-owned businesses, non-profit organizations, and affected governmental organizations. State and local government workers in Mississippi are not covered by federal OSHA.
What training roles are covered for construction confined space work in Mississippi?
We offer training for all roles involved in construction confined space entry in Mississippi. For construction sites, training is available for entrants and attendants who work inside or monitor permit-required confined spaces, entry supervisors who authorize and oversee entry operations, and the competent person who identifies confined spaces and determines which are permit-required. Each role has distinct responsibilities under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA, and training addresses the specific duties assigned to each position.
What training records must employers maintain in Mississippi?
For construction work, 29 CFR 1926.1207 requires employers to maintain training records showing that required training has been accomplished. The records must contain each employee's name, the name of the trainers, and the dates of training, and must be available for inspection by employees and their authorized representatives for the period of time the employee is employed by that employer. For general industry under 29 CFR 1910.146, the employer must certify training with each employee's name, the signatures or initials of the trainers, and the dates of training.
