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.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the OSHA requirements for confined space training in Utah?
Utah operates an OSHA-approved State Plan covering most private sector workers and all state and local government workers. Federal and Utah State OSHA confined space entry standards for general industry (29 CFR 1910.146) and construction (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) require businesses, non-profit organizations, and affected governmental organizations in Utah to implement a comprehensive confined space entry program. A key element of that program is providing confined space training for all affected workers involved in confined space work, including entrants, attendants, entry supervisors, and the competent person at construction sites.
Who needs confined space training: entrants, attendants, supervisors, or all three?
All three roles need training. For construction work, 29 CFR 1926.1207(a) requires employers to provide training to each employee whose work is regulated by the standard, ensuring they possess the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for safe performance of their assigned duties. Entrants need to know how to recognize hazards, use required equipment, and communicate with the attendant. Attendants need to understand how to monitor entrants and summon rescue services. Entry supervisors have additional responsibilities before and during entry, and construction sites also need a competent person to identify confined spaces.
