This document provides guidance on working safely in confined spaces. It defines confined spaces as enclosed or partially enclosed spaces that pose health and safety risks such as asphyxiation or fire. Working in confined spaces is very hazardous, estimated to be 150 times more dangerous than other jobs. Proper procedures and permits are required, including atmospheric testing, ventilation, communication systems, trained attendants to monitor workers, and rescue plans. Workers must be trained on confined space hazards and safety procedures before entering such spaces. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring permits, training, and safe entry conditions are in place.
