Confined space definition and identification

Understanding the law and when a working environment becomes a confined space are key requirements in creating a safe system of work.

• Risk assessment and safe systems of work

All confined space work must be planned, taking into account knowledge and abilities, the environment, the job and rescue procedures.

• Dangers of a confined space

The confined space itself as well as the job will create its own hazards that employees need to be aware of.

• Equipment and monitors

Having adequate and appropriate equipment is a legal requirement. Employee need to be able to know how to operate and maintain / inspect the equipment.

• Venting and testing

The gas levels in a confined space can change rapidly and employees need to have the means to monitor for dangerous atmospheres.

• Communication

Without adequate communication tasks within a confined space cannot be effectively controlled and staff will not be able to respond to an emergency in a timely manner.

• Emergency procedures

Employees need to know what to do in an emergency e.g. self rescue, raising the alarm, getting help, rescue techniques, etc.

• Practical exercises and assessment
• Quiz
