Description
Confined spaces are hard.
No two job sites are the same but many have one thing in common – Confined Space.
So how do you know if your worksite has one?
Confined spaces…
- are large enough so that a human can enter and perform assigned task
- have limited or restricted access
- not assigned for continuous use by personnel
Some confined spaces require special permits to access due to safety concerns such as engulfment, entrapment or asphyxiation.
Confined spaces greater than 5 ft. require:
- all occupants wear a fall arrest harness
- and a mechanical rescue system be ready for use in case of need.
This rule applies to all non-classified confined spaces.

- Full body harnesses
- Work seats
Connectors (c)

- Winches
- Retrieval SRL’s
