Confined Spaces
The SMG Confined Space Safety Toolkit includes a 4-minute micro-training video on confined space basics—what they are, why they’re dangerous, and how to enter safely. You’ll also find four Toolbox Talks covering key topics: how to identify confined spaces, follow entry protocols, recognize hidden hazards, and work safely inside.
Toolbox Talks
Staying safe on a busy jobsite starts with staying aware. Toolbox talks are a simple, effective way to keep safety top of mind—especially when workers are navigating heavy equipment, moving vehicles, and constantly changing conditions. These short, focused briefings help teams recognize risks, reinforce best practices, and meet safety training requirements in a practical, real-world way.
What Is a Confined Space?
Not all tight spaces are confined spaces—and assuming wrong can be deadly. This talk explains how to identify confined spaces, why your senses can’t be trusted, and what risks may be hiding inside. A must-know before any entry.
Confined Space Protocols
Permits, testing, lifelines, attendants—there’s a process for a reason. This talk walks through every step from identification to rescue planning, helping crews understand what makes a space permit-required and when to stop and reassess.
Unique Hazards
The danger isn’t always the space—it’s what’s in it. This talk highlights invisible risks like toxic gas, low oxygen, and engulfment, along with simple safety rules to follow every time. Because shortcuts in a confined space can be fatal.
Working in a Confined Space
What happens after you enter matters most. This talk focuses on how to stay safe while working inside—from ventilation and LOTO to real-time monitoring and rescue prep. Confined space safety isn’t passive—it’s constant.
