Confined spaces are small spaces with limited or restricted means of entry and exit, and special procedures are implemented to protect operators working within the confined space. Examples of confined spaces are fuel storage tanks, sewers, manholes, elevator pits, ducts, pipelines or underground vaults. For more information, check out our Project Uptime article, When Is a Trench a Confined Space? and brush up on your confined space safety knowledge.
Proper confined space entry requires three workers. At a minimum, successful confined space entrant teams need to have a supervisor, an attendant and an entrant. To improve confined space safety, check out our Project Uptime article on MSA gas detector usage data.
According to OSHA requirements, a “permit-requiring confined space” contains or potentially contains a hazardous atmosphere. Examples are if the space has material with the potential to engulf someone who enters the space, the area has an internal configuration that might cause an entrant to be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor that slopes downward or the space contains other recognized serious safety or health hazards. ¿Necesita más ayuda?
