6.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTION FOR WORK IN CONFINED SPACE (MANHOLE)

 Manhole is an open topped, partly enclosed space with a single hole for entry. So it’s considered
as a confined space & it’s hazardous. Hence it needs more precaution while doing any activity in
inside manhole.
 If the air could be contaminated, for example, gas, smoke or fumes could fill the space to an
unsafe level. Leaking services in the space and stagnant water could cause this.
 Some work, such as welding may contaminate a space once started. Risks of being in
contaminated spaces include falling unconscious and in some cases may include a fire &
explosion in the space depending on the contaminant.
 If water or sewer enters the space, the area could fill quickly creating a risk of engulfment.
 Work in confined space is ,ore risk because of the following possibilities,
1. Unsafe atmosphere, fire and explosion.
2. Fall from height (in to space or within a space)
3. Hazardous energy sources (gas, electricity, machinery, water), Engulfment / Drowning,
Entrapment, Impaired communication ability.

7.0 PRECAUTIONS AND CONTROL MEASURES FOR WORK IN CONFINED SPACE

(MANHOLE)
 Competent person availability is must for entering a confined space.
 Ensure Oxygen level and other atmospheric contaminants are within permissible level.
 Ensure there are no ignition sources near the entrance/exit or ventilation points.
 If Entrance/Exit or Ventilation points are sealed, open all of these and ensure appropriate
warnings are communicated and/or marked for others.
 Restrict access where possible.
 Turn off and (where possible) isolate any services (water, gas, electricity) or moving
equipment/machinery that may be in the space.

possible changes (i.e rising water)
 Establish a suitable emergency response plan and appoint a competent rescuer/standby person (to
be located outside the space) & emergency vehicle.
 Ensure there is a process for communication between workers in the space, the standby person,
network control and emergency services.
 Ensure the communication devices are appropriate for the space and in working order.
 Maintain log-sheet separately and monitor continuously by concerned person.
