Confined Space Entry
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) definition of a confined space is “ a space which by design has limited openings for entry and exit; unfavorable natural ventilation which could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants, and which is not intended for continuous employee occupancy .”

Manholes, sewers, boilers, silos, vessels, vats, pipelines, tunnels, storage tanks, ship compartments and underground vaults can be classified as confined spaces.

The unfavorable ventilation of a confined space can cause the atmosphere to be life threatening instead of life supporting. Explosive and toxic gases (hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide are two of the most common toxic gases found in confined spaces) and a lack of oxygen cause the majority of confined space injuries and fatalities. More that 60% of the fatalities occur among would-be rescuers of initial victims.

Your safety depends on your knowledge and application of proper work procedures prior to entering a confined space. Atmospheric testing and monitoring, as well as preplanning of your work and rescue procedures, are all critical aspects of your job safety.

You must have the following equipment At least to enter in confined space.

1. Fall Protection Equipment If Height Is More Then 10'ft
