Listen "Confined Space Training"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The DOT POD, host Josh Heller finds himself in a bit of a “tight spot” as he and co-host Anya Kardos head to Alexandria Bay, New York, to get a first-hand look at the New York State Department of Transportation’s brand-new mobile Confined Space Training Trailer.
Their journey offers a unique opportunity to delve into NYSDOT’s enhanced confined space training and how this new mobile training unit is affording real-world scenarios to department employees statewide who navigate the
complexities of working in challenging spaces.
Josh and Anya welcome guests Scott Cornell and Dean Yauger with NYSDOT’s Office of Safety and Health as they share the unique challenges and hazards that require specialized knowledge and skills to navigate spaces like manholes, catch basins, culverts, bridge compartments, and underground systems at our state rest areas to keep these structures and our entire network of roadways safe and running smoothly.
