A team approach to confined space hazards
Does your team often work in confined spaces? If you’re in construction or general industry, the answer is likely yes.
According to OSHA, confined spaces are not designed for continuous occupancy and are difficult to exit in the event of an emergency. Although they are large enough for someone to enter, they don’t have ventilation or lighting.
Four critical areas to consider around confined spaces are:
- Communication
- Air testing
- Ventilation
- Rescue methods
The good news is that by using a team approach to train and plan for confined space hazards, you can reduce risk and stay safe on the job site.
