Confined Space Work Management

Safety: Confined Space Work Management

Hundreds of workers die every year due to Confined Space incidents! Proper Confined Space Work Management can save lives!

Confined Spaces in high-risk industries, such as construction, oil & gas, mining, manufacturing & more, are one of the most dangerous work environments due to limited access that makes rescue operations difficult to be done & the presence of unpredictable hazards.

Workers should not be allowed to stay in Confined Spaces for too long due to potential hazards, such as poor ventilation, toxic gases (carbon monoxide, H2S), excessive heat, low oxygen levels, damaged machinery, collapsing materials, fire, explosion, drowning & more.

To prevent, avoid & manage hazards & risks in Confined Spaces, industries must implement strict Safety Protocols:

- Confined Space work must be done by a proper & complete team, consisting of workers, Supervisors, Rescue Team & Fire Fighting Team

- Only trained workers are allowed to enter Confined Spaces

- All work & activities in Confined Spaces must be monitored at all times

- Gas Detectors must be used to check toxic gas levels

- Air Quality Control Devices must also be used so that workers can breathe safely

- Workers must have skills to use equipment (PPE, belts, Breathing Apparatus, Rescue Tools & others), handle hazards & save themselves in case of emergency
