Is working in a confined space hazardous?

a confined space hazard assessment and control program

What is a confined space?

Generally speaking, a confined space is a fully or partially enclosed space that:

  • is not primarily designed or intended for continuous human occupancy
  • has limited or restricted entrance or exit, or a configuration that can complicate first aid, rescue, evacuation, or other emergency response activities
  • Can represent a risk for the for the health and safety of anyone who enters, due to one or more of the following factors:
    • its design, construction, location or atmosphere
    • the materials or substances in it
    • work activities being carried out in it, or the
    • mechanical, process and safety hazards present

Confined spaces can be below or above ground. Confined spaces can be found in almost any workplace. A confined space, despite its name, is not necessarily small.
Examples of confined spaces include silos, vats, hoppers, utility vaults, tanks, water supply towers, sewers, pipes, access shafts, truck or rail tank cars, aircraft wings,
boilers, manholes, pump stations, digesters, manure pits and storage bins. Ditches and trenches may also be a confined space when access
or egress is limited. Barges,shipping containers and fish holds are also considered as possible confined spaces
