    Conducting work at confined space entry can be highly hazardous, and several factors should be taken into

    account to protect the safety of workers from accidents. The following factors include:
    1. Hazard identification and assessment: Assess potential hazards in confined spaces, including
    atmospheric, physical, and specific risks, such as lack of oxygen, toxic gases, flammable
    atmospheres, and extreme temperatures.
    2. Atmospheric testing and monitoring: Thorough atmospheric testing and monitoring are crucial to
    ensure safe levels of oxygen, toxic gases, and flammable vapors in confined spaces, conducted
    before entry and continuously monitored during work activities.
    3. Ventilation: Ventilation is crucial in confined spaces to maintain safety, and mechanical systems or
    fresh air introduction may be necessary to control atmospheric hazards.
    4. Isolation and lockout/tagout procedures: Proper isolation and lockout/tagout procedures are
    essential to prevent the introduction of hazardous substances or energy sources into confined
    spaces.
    5. Entry and exit procedures: Establish clear entry and exit procedures, utilizing appropriate PPE,
    rescue and retrieval equipment, and communication systems.
    6. Rescue and emergency procedures: A comprehensive rescue and emergency plan should be in
    place, involving trained personnel, appropriate equipment, and established protocols, and rescue
    personnel should be present during confined space entry operations.
    7. Training and competency: Workers in confined space entry operations must receive proper training
    on hazards, procedures, and equipment, with competent supervisors overseeing and ensuring
    compliance with safety protocols.
    8. Permit system: Implement a permit system to ensure proper precautions are taken before entering
    confined spaces, documenting hazard assessment, control measures, and authorized personnel.
    9. Communication and coordination: Effective communication and coordination between all parties
    involved in the confined space entry operation are essential, which includes workers, supervisors,
    rescue personnel, and any other stakeholders.
    10. Continuous monitoring and review: Continuous monitoring and review of enclosed space entry
    procedures and practices is crucial to identify necessary improvements or changes based on new
    information, incidents, or work environment changes.
    By carefully assessing and resolving these concerns, employers and employees may reduce the hazards
    associated with confined entrance space entry operations and establish a safe working environment.
