Before entering the confined
space, a through risk assessment
needs to be conducted to identify
the potential hazards. A detailed
entry plan needs to be prepared
including emergency procedures
and rescue protocol.
Permit system to be implemented
for confined space. A permit-to-
work system that outlines the
tasks to be performed, hazards
present, and safety measures
required for entry.
Ensure workers are trained in
confined entry space entry
procedure, hazard recognition,
and emergency response.
Designate competent person to
over sea every operation.
Continuously monitor the
atmosphere within the
confined space for oxygen
levels, flammable gases, and
toxic substances. Use
calibrated gas detectors and
ensure workers are trained to
interpret readings.
Before entry, ventilate the
confined space to remove
contaminants and ensure an
adequate oxygen supply. Use
mechanical ventilation or forced-
air systems as needed.
Isolate the confined space
from external hazards such as
machinery, pipelines, or
chemical storage tanks.
Lockout/tagout energy sources
to prevent accidental
activation.
Provide workers with
appropriate PPE, including
respiratory protection,
protective clothing, and fall
protection equipment.
Maintain constant communication
with workers inside the confined
space using two-way radios or
other communication devices.
Establish a system for regular
check-ins.
Have appropriate rescue
equipment on-site, such as
harnesses, tripods, hoists, and
stretchers. Ensure rescue
personnel are trained and
equipped to perform confined
space rescues.
Develop clear procedures for
responding to emergencies,
including evacuation, rescue, and
medical treatment. Conduct
regular drills to ensure all
personnel understand their roles
and responsibilities.
After completing work in the
confined space, conduct a post-
entry evaluation to ensure it is
safe for re-entry. Document any
issues encountered and
implement corrective actions as
needed.
