Every employer that has confined space on their premises must have confined space procedures, but how do the confined space procedures need to be updated?

Employers that have a confined space must be compliant with Part 9 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. Reference: WorkSafeBC

Your first aid procedures should address how a worker injured in the confined space will be removed before first aid is initiated. Depending on the nature of the hazards in the confined space, you should consider likely injuries and methods available for safely removing the worker from the confined space. You should have a plan to remove the worker from the confined space that won’t further exacerbate likely injuries. This would also be a procedure to test with a drill.
