Definition of confined space
The dangers associated with a particular situation determine a confined space. Therefore, it does not just define work carried out in a small space. A confined space entails a partially enclosed or enclosed space that:
- Is fire-prone
- Has dangerous amounts of different airborne contaminants
- Its design or purpose is not for human occupancy
- While a person is inside the space, the atmospheric pressure should be at standard.
The confined space may be risky to health and safety due to:
- An atmosphere that lacks a safe level of oxygen.
- Contaminants such as vapours, specks of dust or airborne gases might lead to injury from explosion or fire.
Confined spaces are mainly found in:
- Chimneys, flues and ducts
- Silage and manure pits
- Storage tanks
- Silos
- Dry and wet wells
