Confined Space Entry

One of the most important factors to consider when working in a confined space is the small margin for error. Without proper training and safety precautions, workers might overlook potential hazards and can result in serious consequences.

With confined space entry training, workers are able to identify, evaluate, and take potential hazards into consideration when working in confined spaces. Some of the reasons that working in a confined space is more dangerous than working in other workspaces include:

• Entering and exiting quickly is more difficult with less room

• Rescuing workers is more difficult – less room for safety equipment

• Conditions are unpredictable and can change quickly

• Communication can be more difficult between workers

• Natural ventilation can be limited
