Confined Space Entry
Confined Space Entry refers to the process of entering and working in areas that are not designed for continuous occupancy and have limited means of entry or exit. These spaces can include tanks, silos, and tunnels, which may pose risks such as toxic gases, low oxygen levels, or physical hazards. Proper training and safety measures are essential to protect workers during these operations.
To ensure safety, organizations often implement a Confined Space Entry Permit system, which outlines necessary precautions and procedures. Workers must be equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and may require monitoring devices to detect hazardous conditions before and during entry.
