Federal and NM State 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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico. 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 New Mexico.
Also, trainees have the option to take one of our comprehensive online confined space training courses, available for the construction industry and for general industry. Course options include training for entrants and attendants, entry supervisors, and the competent person at construction sites.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who regulates confined space entry requirements for employers in New Mexico?
Federal and New Mexico State OSHA confined space entry standards regulate employers in New Mexico. New Mexico operates an OSHA-approved State Plan covering most private sector workers and all state and local government workers. Both general industry employers (under 29 CFR 1910.146) and construction employers (under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) in New Mexico are required to implement a comprehensive confined space entry program for employees involved in confined space entry work.
Can we arrange on-site confined space training at our New Mexico facility?
We conduct on-site confined space training classes for employee groups at facilities anywhere in New Mexico. The class can be based on either the general industry standard (29 CFR 1910.146) for routine operations and maintenance work, or the construction standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) for construction work. When requesting a proposal, describe how many employees need training, what roles they fill, and what type of work they perform so we can design a class that fits your crew's needs.
When is additional confined space training required after initial training?
For construction work under 29 CFR 1926.1207, training is required before employees first perform confined space duties, before a change in assigned duties, whenever a change in permit space entry operations presents a hazard employees have not been trained on, and whenever there is reason to believe employees lack necessary knowledge or skills. The general industry standard (29 CFR 1910.146) has similar triggers: before first assignment, before a change in duties, before a change in operations, and when knowledge gaps are identified.
What online confined space training options are available?
We offer comprehensive online confined space training courses for both construction industry and general industry work. Course options include training for entrants and attendants, entry supervisors, the competent person at construction sites, and courses for business owners and managers. Students can train at their own pace, logging in and out at any time from different computers or devices, and print their personalized training certificate upon successful completion.
