Gas testing in confined space

Gas testing in confined space

Always test for atmospheric hazards in the following order:

Oxygen is tested first because both oxygen-deficient and oxygen-enriched atmosphere are extremely hazardous to worker health and safety. (Oxygen levels should be between 19.5%-23.5%)



Flammable or explosive gases & vapors are tested because the threat of fire  and explosion is both more  immediate and more life-threatening. Flammability limit should be less than 10% of the lower


Flammability Limit ( LFL)Toxic atmosphere are tested last. Readings should be less than recognized standards of exposure limits.
