Working in Confined Space

Working in Confined Spaces can be dangerous & poses a risk of serious injury & death. When working in a Confined Space, a few things are bound to happen are:
- Exposure to harmful substances
- Lack of oxygen
- Water buildup
- Lack of light
- Dust in high concentration
- Hot temperature
- Toxic & flammable gases, fumes & vapors
- Bad weather
- Difficulty in evacuating
- Fire

A few things to think about & manage when working in a Confined Space:
- Permit To Work
- Duration
- Work done & how to do it
- Physical condition & health
- Number of workers & Rescue Teams & their abilities – outside & inside Confined Space
- Training requirements
- Confined Space situations & conditions
- Risks & dangers

Workers & Rescue Teams working in Confined Spaces must have the ability to:
- Work in Confined Space
- Control physical hazards & atmospheric hazards
- Protect themselves, including protecting their breath
- Enter & exit Confined Space
- Take appropriate action when an emergency occurs
- Use equipment in Confined Spaces (Gas Detector, Tripod, Davit, PPE, communication device, Harness, Rope, SCBA & more)

Fact: The injured & killed while working in Confined Spaces are workers & people trying to carry out rescues without using proper equipment & never having proper training.

Therefore, companies that have Confined Spaces must have a competent team to help manage risks in Confined Spaces & ensure that all workers & Rescue Teams are adequately trained & instructed.

CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation)

CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) is an effort to restore the ability to breathe & blood circulation in the body. Breathing & blood flow that stops can trigger brain damage that can result in a person dying in a matter of minutes.

When performing CPR:
- Victims must be moved to a safer place
- Contact the nearest medical personnel/hospital
- Check victim's consciousness by asking for name, checking pulse & blood flow
- Shake the victim's body slowly
- If the victim responds, try to keep the victim conscious until medical help arrives
- If the victim does not respond, perform CPR
- Lay the victim's body on a hard & flat surface
- Position yourself on your knees beside the victim's neck & shoulders
- Place one palm of your hand on the center of the victim's chest & place your other palm on top of your hand
- Straighten your elbows & place your shoulders directly over your hands
- Press the victim's chest 100–120 times per minute at a rate of 1–2 pressures per second
- Check if the victim can breathe again & shows a response
- If the victim has not responded, you can start trying to open the victim's airway to give artificial respiration
- Lift the victim's head & place your hand on the forehead
- Lift the victim's chin to open the airway
- Pinch the victim's nose, then place your mouth to the victim's mouth
- Give 2 breaths of air from your mouth while seeing if the victim's chest is raised like someone is breathing
- Repeat the chest compressions 30 times followed by giving 2 breaths

Thinking And Remembering

Research has proven that:
- Thinking is done when we face & do something
- Remembering is done when we try to think about something that is already past
- The 2 things above happen at different times
- Remembering is a complicated process because it is difficult for us to remember many things at the same time
- The process of remembering will be easier to do if we repeat what we have faced & done
