Scout's Toolbox Talks

Not all confined spaces are the same — some require strict entry procedures to stay safe.

Permit-required confined spaces (PRCS) contain serious hazards like toxic atmospheres, engulfment risks, or restricted entry/exit. These toolbox talks cover how to recognize PRCS under OSHA 1910.146, common examples (manholes, tanks, vaults), signage, and the importance of atmospheric testing and permitting. Use them to train crews on how to identify these spaces before work begins — not after it’s too late.

Support your safety meetings with toolbox talks on PRCS identification, OSHA compliance, and safe entry planning for confined space work.
