Confined space entry

Confined spaces are found in many manufacturing operations in places such as:

• tanks
• vats
• process vessels
• silos
• storage bins

A confined space program is required by the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and should include:

• Documented identification and marking of confined spaces
• Hazard assessment of confined spaces if entry is required
• Signage prohibiting entry for unauthorized personnel
• Safe work procedures developed for entry and emergency rescue
• Training and supervision of all workers at-risk
• Documentation retained as required
