Confined Spaces have a variety of hazards, both atmospheric and physical. The main risks are:
- Bad air: Lack of oxygen is a big threat. Confined Spaces can have low oxygen levels due to poor ventilation, gas, smoke, and dust. This causes poisoning or respiratory problems.
- Dangerous liquids: Confined Spaces can contain dangerous liquids that can cause a person to drown and die
- Limited access: Confined Spaces have narrow entrances and exits. This can hinder and complicate rescue efforts in an emergency.
- Falls and crushes: Slippery surfaces, uneven footing, and tight spaces increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Additionally, there is a risk of being struck by a collapsing structure or equipment moving within a Confined Space.
- Extreme temperatures: Confined Spaces can become very hot or cold, causing heat stroke or hypothermia
The best way to work in Confined Spaces:
- Take the appropriate Confined Space Course before entering a Confined Space. Use the correct knowledge for working in Confined Spaces.
- Do not enter Confined Spaces alone. Work in Confined Spaces with other workers or trained professionals who know how to do the job properly and perform rescues.
- Use the right equipment to enter and exit Confined Spaces and save yourself
Since rescue attempts from Confined Spaces are very dangerous, the right way to save yourself is to call for help! If an accident occurs in a Confined Space, contact your Supervisor, Rescue Team, and other Emergency Services immediately!
