Confined Spaces

What is a Confined Space?

This can involve multiple places, from chambers to silos and sewers to wells, or other similar spaces. They can usually be identified by their enclosed nature and any reasonable foreseeable “specified risk”.

What is a Specified Risk?

This can be identified when there is a risk of serious injury to any person at work arising from a fire or explosion.

1) The loss of consciousness of any person at work arising from an increase in body temperature.

2) The loss of consciousness or asphyxiation of any person at work

3) The drowning of any person at work arising from an increase in the level of a liquid

4) The asphyxiation of any person at work arising from a free-flowing solid or the inability to reach a respirable environment due to entrapment by a free-flowing solid.
