Confined Space Safety
Did you know that confined spaces in your workplace pose severe occupational risks to your staff? If you have any vessels, tanks, chambers, cellars, pits, or underground spaces within your workplace, these are by definition enclosed, and thus carry significant risk for your employees.
Examples of hazards that such spaces cause your employees are:
Toxic Atmosphere
A toxic atmosphere is essentially a space filled with dangerous substances and conditions that may cause impairment of judgment, loss of consciousness, illness and death. These often arise from leaks from other storage facilities, fire or flames in the space, presence of sludge or sewage, or toxic substances resulting from previous industrial processes or storage.

Oxygen Deficiency
Biological processes such as rotting of organic matter, displacement by another gas such as methane or carbon dioxide, or its absorption or depletion by other materials or reactions can lead to the removal of oxygen in a confined space.
Oxygen Enrichment
Oxygen enrichment is just as risky as oxygen depletion, as it supplies oxygen for fires, oxidative processes, and for materials that tend to ignite.
Flowing Liquids of Excessive Solids
Some confined spaces are often at a higher risk for sudden entry by flowing liquids like water or solids like rocks or soil. These can cause drowning, burns, suffocation and trauma. These are especially common in quarries and other extraction sites.
Excessive Heat
Confined spaces often have no ventilation, which exposes staff in such places to the risk of heatstroke and heat stress.
All employers are obliged by the law to ensure that these risks are eliminated and that employees that must enter the spaces are protected from them. The law also stipulates that employees must stay out of these spaces as far as possible as they are often too small and incubate the most severe of risks.

- Before any work in the space is done, Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment must be made before the work starts.
- All employees entering these spaces must be provided with sufficient information regarding the risks and the tasks expected of them
- The employees must not enter the confined space unless there are set confined space safety procedures that have been planned, organized, performed and maintained to ensure that they will be safe as they carry out their work.
