Confined Spaces?

Start thinking about the various types of confined spaces around you. There are many different types of confined spaces. Some confined spaces may be very dangerous and can be immediately dangerous to your life and health upon entry.

Other types of confined spaces may be less dangerous and have little chance of causing you harming upon entry.

Permit confined spaces are the most hazardous and require you or some qualified person to completed a safety checklist, simply called a permit, before you enter in to the space.

A permit is a written safety checklist that is completed before you can enter into the confined space.

A permit ensures that all the hazards are removed from the confined space before you enter.

What is the purpose of entry?

• How much time will be spent working inside the confined space?

• Who are the people authorized to enter the space?

• Who will be the attendant that stays outside the confined space?

• What are the atmospheric conditions in the confined space?

• What are the methods of communication between people inside the confined space and people outside the space?

• What kinds of equipment are being provided and used for safe entry?

• Are there any additional safety checklists that need to be completed, such as a welding or burning permits?

• How have you have eliminated the hazards before you enter the confined space ( lockout/tagout, forced air ventilation, etc.)?
