Confined Space
All persons should be Internal training
Always cover any cut or stretches with a
water proof plaster
Cylinders not allowed to bring inside confined
space
Trained hole watcher present with log sheet,
• Testing and monitoring E.g. (Multi Gas
Detector)
• Ventilating.
• Communications
• Lighting, barriers, and shields
• Safe ingress and egress
• No unauthorized entrance
Oxygen Atmospheres
Oxygen Deficient Atmospheres:
19.5 % Minimum acceptable oxygen level.
15 - 19%Decreased ability to work strenuously.
Impaired coordination. Early symptoms.
12-14%Respiration increases. Poor judgment.
10-12%Respiration increases. Lips blue.
8-10%Mental failure. Fainting. Nausea.
Unconsciousness. Vomiting.
6- 8 minutes - fatal
8%
6 minutes - 50% fatal
4-5 minutes - possible
recovery
4-
6% Coma in 40 seconds.
Oxygen Atmospheres
Man can live:
• 3 weeks without food
• 3 days without water
• only 3 min without oxygen
Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres:
• Oxygen level above 23.5%
• Causes flammable and combustible materials to burn violently
when ignited
– Hair, clothing, materials, etc.
– Oil soaked clothing and materials
• Never use pure oxygen to ventilate
• Never store or place compressed tanks in a confined space

What The Statistics
Tell Us
• Over 200 confined space fatalities annually
• 60% are would-be rescuers
• Nearly 90% die of suffocation
• More than 95% had no formal training
They all could have been prevented!!!!!!
• Explain that many of the rescuers that die in confined
spaces are supervisors and that its not the 95% who
had no formal training that we are necessarily
concerned about at Fermi lab, but more the 5% who
did have formal training.
• Also point out that most of the fatalities do
deal with atmospheric hazards.
Order of Testing
1.First---Oxygen Presence And Amounts
2.Second---Flammables
3.Third---Toxics
4.Others
• Always test the air at various levels to be sure that
the entire space is safe.
• Good air near the opening does NOT mean there is Good Air
good air at the bottom!
Poor Air
Deadly Air
Hazar
POTENTIAL HAZARDS: ds
• Deficient or enriched oxygen-Safe level:
19.5% - 23.5%
• Combustible, flammable, and explosive
atmospheres
• Toxic gases and vapors
• Corrosive chemicals or biological agents.
Electrical hazards:
• Shock hazard,
• static electricity,
• sparks, etc…
Other Hazards:
• Rodents,
• snakes,
• and insects
ATTENDANT
• Know the hazards associated with the space
• Be aware of the effects of hazardous exposures
• Maintain accountability of entrants
• Remain on duty until properly relieved
• Monitor the status of the entrant as appropriate
• Communicate with the entrant as appropriate
• Summon rescue and/or emergency assistance
• Monitor activities inside and outside the space
• Perform non-entry rescue in accordance with policy
• Perform no duties that interfere with attendant duties
• Order evacuation of the space when dictated
• Attendant alerts the rescue services
• Close off the area
• Get authorized entrants out of the space
• Perform first aid if needed.
•Chest or body harnesses are worn by authorized
entrant to allow for safe rescue.
Emergency Response
How do you rescue a confined space?
• Respond to a rescue alert.
• Evaluate the emergency and determine the correct rescue
method.
• Determine the atmospheric hazard.
• Utilize the appropriate PPE.
• Enter the confined space.
• Perform a rescue on an unconscious victim.
Examples of confined
spaces
• Tanks
• Vessels
• Silos
• Storage Bins
• Manholes
• Vaults
