Confined spaces exist in many construction scenarios and present significant risks to our frontline workers. Co-led by Energy Safety Canada and ACSA, this session will discuss hazard awareness and risk management as critical skills for those working in confined spaces. Critical gaps in our industry include work planning for unique environments, assessment of contractor confined space programs, identifying hazards, and managing associated risk.

This session is based on a creative sentencing initiative that resulted from a workplace fatality, which will serve as a case study for this discussion.
