Confined space: the dangers

Published on 28/04/22 1795 Views

Confined or enclosed spaces are potentially dangerous places. It might be tanks, silos, pipes or anywhere you could be trapped. They are places where you could be affected by lack of breathable air, extremes of temperature, gas or loose powders or liquids. Before entering you should know what the hazards are and how they will be controlled.

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers or the way we work?
