As such, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has strict regulations in place regarding confined space entry, requiring all employers to inform workers of the risks of entering these areas and to obtain entry permits prior to entering them. If you want to learn more about confined space entry permit requirements, including who must obtain one and what must be included in your permit application, keep reading!
Why Are Confined Space Entry Permit Required?
There are many situations where a confined space entry permit may be required. First and foremost, there are several common hazards that make confined spaces potentially dangerous places for workers. Confined spaces often contain airborne particles, noxious fumes, or other harmful chemicals or gases. There is also a risk of electrical shock when working in a confined space due to exposed wiring and equipment that poses an electrocution hazard.
When workers must enter a confined space, there are certain procedures that must be followed. These procedures include how to prepare for entering and exiting a confined space as well as how workers should enter and exit. In addition, many confined spaces require specialized equipment in order for entry or exit to occur safely. Finally, a permit is required because all workers involved with an entry or exit procedure must be trained on it and receive instruction on what to do if anything goes wrong during the procedure.
A confined space entry permit is a document that contains essential information on how entry and exit should occur as well as any specific requirements that may apply. It will also include where a copy of the confined space entry procedure is located so that workers can review it before entering or exiting.
Obtaining a confined space entry permit is a two-step process. The first step involves determining whether or not entry is required. In order for an entry permit to be required, certain conditions must be met including that there is no other means of entering or exiting and only trained workers may enter.
What Is Required On A Confined Space Entry Permit: A confined space entry permit will include essential information about how workers should proceed when entering or exiting a confined space. These procedures typically include special safety precautions such as wearing personal protective equipment like hard hats, goggles, and gloves. There may also be instructions about how to maintain proper ventilation inside the confined space. Other instructions might include how workers should dress for the job (safety vests or reflective clothing) and where they can find additional resources such as copies of confined space entry permits or confined space evacuation plans.
OSHA Confined Space Air Monitoring Requirements.pdf
How much air do you need in your confined space? The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors, but OSHA has some requirements about how you monitor the air quality in your confined spaces, and that process starts with knowing what your acceptable levels are and what action to take when they’re not met. Here’s what you need to know about the Osha Confined Space Air Monitoring Requirements, including how it affects workers in non-permit required spaces.
How To Report Accident At Work Properly.pdf
How To Report Accident At Work – There are many accidents that happen in the workplace, and they can range from minor incidents to fatal disasters. No matter what kind of accident occurs, however, it is important to report it if you want your company to avoid future liability issues or be protected by workers’ compensation laws.
It is essential that you know how to report it properly in order to receive the benefits that come with being covered under workers compensation laws. If you do not report your accident correctly, you could end up paying far more out of pocket than what you would have had to pay otherwise if you properly reported your accident from the beginning. Make sure to follow these instructions if you ever find yourself in this situation.
Mechanical Hazards And Common Mechanical Injuries.pdf
Mechanical hazards are hazards created by the use of or exposure to either powered or manually operated equipment, machinery and plant. Mechanical injuries are mostly caused either by contact or entanglement with machinery. Part of the machinery that could be hazardous to workers include sharp edges, hot surfaces, moving parts, flywheel, pulley, belt, etc.
Where Mechanical Hazards Occur
It occurs majorly in three (3) area:
The point of operation: Point where work is performed on the material, such as cutting, shaping, boring, etc.
Power transmission apparatus: Components of the mechanical system that transmit energy to the part of the machine performing the work. Example, flywheels, pulleys, belts, connecting rods, couplings, cams, spindles, chains, cranks, gears, etc.
Machine moving parts: Parts of the machine that move while the machine is working. These may include reciprocating, rotating, and transverse moving parts, as well as feed mechanisms and auxiliary parts of the machine.
8 Types of Permit To Work (PTW.pdf
In this article, we will be discussing on the “Types of Permit to Work“. There are several types of permit to work, but within the scope of this article, we will talk about eight (8) types.
Before we get into the types of work permit let us remind ourselves of what a Work Permit is.
What is a Work Permit
Work Permit or Permit To Work (PTW) is a safety program initiated for high risk activities. It is a core element of integrated safe system of work (ISSOW) systems, along with risk assessment and isolation planning. It enables as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) reduction of unsafe activities in non-trivial work environments. Permit to work adherence is essential in process safety management.
6 Methods Of Risk Assessment You Should Know.pdf
Methods of risk assessment differs in different sectors and organisations, but a method adopted should best suit the organization process.
Before we get into the subject of the article, let use refresh our minds on what risk assessment entails.
Risk assessment is the determination of quantitative or qualitative estimate of risk related to a well-defined situation and a recognized threat (also called hazard).
Mathematically:
Quantitative risk assessment requires calculations of two components of risk (R)
The magnitude of the potential loss (L), and
The probability (p) that the loss will occur.
In summary, to conduct risk assessment, 5 main steps are always adopted.
Identify the hazard: Be it physical, mental, chemical or biological.
Decide who could be harm
Assess the risk
Make record of findings
21 Important Safety Signs & Symbols And Their Meanings.pdf
Safety Symbols are labels portraying graphics set forth by the International Standards Organization (ISO) which are recognized internationally. This helps ensure the dangers present are understood by an increasingly multi-lingual workforce. The shapes and colours of the safety symbols distinguish the hazard type or hazard instruction.
These Safety symbols are divides into four (4) categories:
1. Prohibition Sign
2. Warning Signs
3. Mandatory Sign
4. Emergency Sign

In this article, I will mention top health and safety twitter handles you should follow as a health and safety professional.
The list will be made up of top players in the Health and safety profession. Following them will link you up with current trends and innovations in the Health and safety profession.
What is a near miss
A near miss is an incident which results to no injury, no damage to property/equipment/machinery, and no environmental effect but has the potential for all those. It is mostly overlooked on site because it presents no negative impact. Though it poses no immediate negative impact, it can present us with trend of events which may result to serious damage and losses if properly investigated.
Fire extinguisher service; how it is done
Fire extinguisher service is needful to ensure that fire extinguishers installed in our organization are in a workable state; however, the NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) requires inspection of your extinguisher every month. Also as part of the annual maintenance, it is required by I.S. 291:2015 that at least one third of all water, foam, dry powder and carbon dioxide extinguishers will be test discharged and refilled annually.
Fire tetrahedron
A tetrahedron can be described as a pyramid which is a solid having four plane faces. When we talk about the fire tetrahedron, it is symbolically used to express all four essential elements that must be present for fire to occur – fuel, heat, oxygen, and a chemical chain reaction. Removal of any one of these essential elements will result in the fire being extinguished.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Recently uploaded (20)

Occupational Hazard.pdf
- 1. Occupational Hazard; Examples & Prevention Measures
- 3. Occupational hazard is a hazard experienced in the workplace, it can encompass many types of hazards, including chemical hazards, biological hazards (biohazards), psychosocial hazards, and physical hazards. In other words, occupational hazard explains the risks of illnesses or accidents in the workplace. An occupational hazard is something unpleasant that a person experiences or suffers as a result of doing their job. Some dictionaries say that the term also includes hazards that people experience as a result of working on their hobbies.
- 4. Occupational hazard as a term signifies both long-term and short-term risks associated with the workplace environment and is a field of study within occupational safety and health and public health. Short term risks may include physical injury, while long-term risks may be increased risk of developing cancer or heart disease.
- 5. Examples of occupational hazards Occupational hazards are divided into five groups according to their nature: 1) Physical hazard: Related to exposure to noise, ionizing radiation, and temperature. 2) Chemical hazard: Related to exposure to gases, vapors, fumes, and chemicals. 3) Biological hazard: This includes exposure to viruses, bacteria, blood and blood products. 4) Ergonomic hazard: Relate to the requirement of improper posture, monotony, repetitiveness, work shifts, and situations causing stress. 5) Psychosocial hazard
- 6. This group of risks is constantly present at work in or, responsible for a large number of occupational diseases, such as hypertension, stress, and cancer. Physical hazards may be factors, agents, or circumstances that can cause harm without or with contact. We classify them as either environmental or occupational hazards. Examples are Radiation, heat, cold stress, vibrations, and noise, etc. Read Full Article Here
