2. INTRODUCTION
Myself Mahesh M S , HSES Training Specialist of McDermott ( CB&I) Pvt Ltd working since July
2021 ,have experience in UAE ,KSA , KUWAIT & INDIA
Welcome you all for Confine space Training Session .
I understood you all are involved in Tank work and have more than 4 years experience .
This will be a refresher training and reminder for roles & responsibilities of each person.
Our session will be for 45 minutes ,will have a break time of 10 minutes .
After the Training session Assessment will be conducted.
KINDLY KEEP ALL COMMUNICATION DEVICES IN SILENT MODE
3. CONFINED SPACE
PURPOSE
The purpose of this module is to teach participants the requirements for Confined Space Entry
and explain the duties and responsibilities of employees acting as Supervisors. Attendants and
Entrants of a confined space entry. This course will be a review of the correct safety tools that
are part of our HSE management system requirements. Additionally, this course will be used to:
Re-fresh supervisor and employee knowledge of the Confined Space procedure.
Require supervisors and employees to review their current approach to HSE
implementation
Challenge supervisors and employees to continuously improve HSE performance within
their areas of responsibility
Establish and define CB&I HSE expectations
Provide supervisors and employees with the Systems and Processes to effect change and
achieve our HSE goals
Provide an HSE leadership education process for all leaders.
5. CONFINED SPACE
‘A confined space is a place which is substantially, though not always
entirely, enclosed and where serious injury can occur from hazardous
substances or conditions within the space or nearby’
Another way to think about what is a Confined Space is to ask if…..
Is the space large enough to enter and work?
Does the space have limited openings for Entry and Exit?
Is not designed for Continuous Worker
Occupancy
12. JOB PLANNING
Can the task be done without the need for personnel to enter
the confined space?
Is the work really necessary, or could you:
• Modify the confined space itself so that entry is not necessary
• Have the work done from outside
• Use equipment and tools to avoid entry
• Use online Inspection or remote cameras for internal inspection
• Use long-handled tools
13. RISK ASSESSMENT
A risk assessment must be performed for all confined space entry work
IDENTIFY
ASSESS
CONTROL
RECOVER
Are people, environment or assets exposed to
potential harm?
What can go wrong?
What are the hazards?
What can cause it to go wrong?
What is the risk?
How likely is it to occur?
How bad will it be?
Can the causes be eliminated?
How can it be prevented?
How effective are the controls?
Can the potential consequences be limited?
What recovery measures are needed?
Are recovery capabilities suitable and sufficient?
14. CSE PERMIT
If confined space entry is unavoidable, then an approved Confined Space
Permit, under the Permit to Work system, must be obtained in order to
proceed with work.
The confined space permit is separate from
any other permits and must be prepared with
input from personnel responsible for the
overall work on site during the entry and those
who will be leading the entry work.
15. REQUIRED INFORMATIONS
• Identification of the Confined Space to be entered
• Work to be done
• Drawing showing internal configuration
• Result of initial Gas Test

• Acceptable entry specifications (temperature, oxygen levels)
• Communication methods
• Additional permit requirements
19. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• understand the signs and symptoms of exposure and communicate these to all personnel
• must ensure all tests, equipment requirements, personnel and procedures specified on the
Confined Entry Certificate are verified
• must stop entry and cancel the permit if the conditions of the permit and certificate are not
met
20. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Confined Space Entrant
• must follow requirements of the Permit and Confined Space
Entry Certificate
• must know and recognize the hazards that may be faced during
the confined space activities and be able to recognize
potentially hazardous changes in conditions

faced during the confined space activities and be able
to recognize potentially hazardous changes in
conditions

unsafe condition arise
• maintain communication with Attendant
• comply with orders of the Attendant
• ensure all tools are removed upon completion of
work DON’TENTERA CONFINED
SPACE
22. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Hole Watcher / Attendant
Keep Entrant under surveillance and maintain communication
• Line of sight ( not always possible )
• Voice contact
• Radio signals
• Whistles
• Pre arranged lifeline signals etc..
• Summons assistance should an entrant get in trouble.
23. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Authorized Gas Tester
A person who has passed Authorized Gas Testing Training &
approved & certified by project management .
• Performs tests before start of work & in between breaks
• Proves the oxygen is in safe level
• Proves & certifies the atmosphere inside the confined space is
safe to work.
• Only to perform with calibrated instrument
• Should perform after isolation & in the presence of Supervisor &
attendant
• Where practicably the test shall be performed from out side with
extension probes.
24. GAS TESTING
Air Quality Criteria
Oxygen Content ( Volume )
19.5 % – 23.5 % ( OSHA )

Less than 10% of the LEL
where Hot work is to be done 0%
Toxic Gases
Carbon Monoxide – < 35 ppm
Hydrogen sulfide - < 10 ppm

Residues left in tanks, vessels etc, or remaining on internal surfaces which can give off gas, fume or vapor
Dust may be present in high concentrations
Hot conditions leading to a dangerous increase in body temperature
PRECAUTIONS
Isolations - All energy sources connected to the confined space must be locked and/or tagged out
Gas Testing - Confined space atmospheres must be tested by qualified personnel before entry is allowed
Gas Purging - If flammable or toxic gases or vapours are present, or possibly present
Removal of Residues - If risks such as residues are identified then powered ventilation equipment should be used and any electrical equipment should be protected for hazardous atmospheres
