OSHA Confined Spaces Advisor
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Confined Spaces Advisor provides guidance to help employers protect workers from the hazards
of entry into permit-required confined spaces. The Advisor will help you
determine if a space is covered by OSHA's Permit-Required Confined Spaces regulation. The
system provides options to review the definitions of technical terms, to review answers to
frequently asked questions, and to review the regulatory text.
The OSHA Confined Spaces Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to help employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities under Federal employment laws. To view the entire list of elaws Advisors please visit the elaws website.
