Confined Space Safety

Confined space hazard awareness, atmospheric controls, entry planning, and rescue responsibilities.

  • Hazards inside a confined space can change quickly and may not be obvious from outside the opening.
  • Testing, ventilation, permit controls, and communication are all critical layers of protection.
  • Workers should never enter based on assumptions or previous conditions alone.
  • A rescue plan must exist before entry begins, not after an emergency occurs.
