SCOPE
This procedure concerns the safety provisions, aimed at accident prevention and occupational
hygiene, provided for in the case of work in confined spaces.
A workplace constitutes a confined space that has the following three characteristics:
- amplitude sufficient for a worker to enter it with his or her body for the purpose of carrying
out a work activity
- restricted or limited entry and exit possibilities
- space not conceived for continuous employment
The need for access to confined spaces concerns both ordinary activities (inspections, periodic
cleaning) and extraordinary ones (maintenance and / or repairs in the face of unforeseen events,
failures or, more generally, unwanted events).
The characteristics of these places constitute a significant criticality as regards the implementation
of any emergency and rescue interventions; they are therefore places that can become extremely
dangerous if all safety procedures are not followed.
Access to confined spaces can be associated with various risk factors deriving from the following
elements:

OPERATING MODES
PREMISE
All operations that are carried out in confined space must be carried out in full compliance with
Presidential Decree 177/2011 mainly for the following points:
When carrying out work in closed environments, the presence of at least one external worker must
always be guaranteed, with the task of constantly and with the utmost attention to the activities and
the status of the personnel, to ascertain the absence of signals. due to a state of malaise and being
able to intervene in case of emergency in case there is a need.
During this activity it is advisable that frequent verbal communications to ascertain the state of
supervision should take place between the external operator and those inside. A pair of radio
transmitters must be available for use during the stay in the confined space
Before starting the work, they must be:
TRAINING
The personnel who will be authorized to enter the confined spaces must be qualified personnel
trained with a specific course that can be carried out both internally and by external training
companies (the duration of the course will be 8 hours and it will be valid for five years).
It will be the task of the executing company to train its employees on the rules to be implemented
within confined spaces and on the risks present (DVR / RA)
The personnel who will access the confined spaces will in any case be informed by the Antonini
Spa Group on the methods of access and behaviour.
In some cases, if foreseen, by the type of work in progress after this training, the Antonini Spa
Group, following a request by means of a work permit, will issue a special card with permission to
access confined spaces (not a substitute for the personal identification card)
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION
In the case of processes that may involve many personnel, the personnel authorized to access the
confined spaces will be equipped with a special tag, as shown below, to insert it in a special case
that allows the prompt identification of the personnel working within the space. confined:

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
This section indicates the general requirements. Highlighting the possible risks, the operating
methods and the generic prescriptions in case of emergency to be implemented for each work
in confined space. In the following sections we will go into the details of each prescription.
The greatest risks to the health and safety of workers come from confined spaces that have at
least one of the following four characteristics:
- presence inside, actual or potential, of a dangerous atmosphere
- presence inside a material capable of submerging a person who enters it: this risk can be
exerted by a liquid or a finely divided solid, which can be lethal by saturating or occluding
the respiratory tract or exert sufficient force on the human body death by strangulation,
constriction or crushing to be determined.
- internal configuration such as to be able to trap or asphyxiate a person who enters it, due to
the effect of internally converging walls or a sloping floor with a tapered section
- presence within any other serious recognized health or safety hazard.
For confined spaces that have one or more of the characteristics described above, a work
permit is prepared, as required by the specific procedure of the GA, filled in and signed by the
workers involved, including a person responsible for supervising the entrance.
A person in charge must be appointed who, based on his personal abilities, supervises the
work activity and ensures the application of the work procedures.
The following safety procedure for entering a confined space subject to a work permit
requirement includes the following rules:
1. no one should be allowed to enter a container or other confined space without suitable
safety equipment and until such container or confined space has been made safe for entry,
through interception, evaporation, complete ventilation and analysis of the gas present
inside

2. The opening of access to these places must be large enough to allow the easy recovery of an
unconscious worker.
3. If necessary, the lock-out / tag-out procedures must be present and followed: as an
indication, proceed with the mechanical and electrical isolation of the devices, isolation
which will be essential if they may be activated inadvertently. If it is possible that gases,
fumes or vapors enter the confined space, it will be necessary to provide for the physical
insulation of the pipes and other systems.
4. in environments where the atmosphere is potentially flammable or explosive, it is essential
to use non-sparking devices and to use shielded lighting systems
5. check the concentration of pollutants in the air to be completed before entry.
If the checks carried out on the air of the confined space show levels higher than the limits
listed above, it is necessary to ventilate the space itself for at least three air changes.
After this ventilation, the air contained in the space must be re-checked: only after compliance
with the above limits can entry be allowed.
In any case, favor ventilation by increasing the number of openings in the work environment
or by using a forced ventilation system to ensure an adequate supply of clean air.
Below is an example of the effects and symptoms associated with oxygen deficiency:

6. maintain air quality monitoring during the entire stay of workers inside the confined space
(initial surveys must be carried out before entry and recorded on the permit, while
subsequent surveys must be conducted at regulated intervals of two hours )
7. there must be a sufficient lighting system in relation to the characteristics of the
environment and the type of intervention to be carried out; where there may be explosive or
flammable atmospheres, it is necessary to use tools capable of not producing sparks and to
have suitably protected lamps
8. an adequately trained and trained supervisor must be stationed outside the confined space,
for the entire time spent inside one or more workers. The overseer must be able to alert (for
example via mobile phone or two-way radio) the members of the rescue team who have
been identified and trained in advance if an emergency arises within the confined space.
9. Between the overseer and the occupant, communication must be maintained continuously.
10. Workers in charge of carrying out work within a confined space that may cause a change in
atmospheric conditions are obliged to wear PPE previously identified by a dedicated

procedure and in the DVR and monitoring equipment during their stay in the confined
space. The works falling within this area are the following:
- Welding, cutting and brazing
- Painting
- Cleaning with solvents
- Removal of sludge
- Any work within sewers
11. For situations that require rescue team members to rescue an occupant, they must at least be
equipped with a bridle harness attached to the dorsal attachment, lifeline and insulating
respiratory protective equipment (APVR). The methodology of the rescue intervention
depends on the access to a given place. If feasible, an intervention without entry to the place
concerned is preferable. Below are the criteria that must guide rescue plans in three
different situations:
- Rescue in normally accessible premises
- Rescue in confined spaces
- Rescue in pits, wells or excavations
In each of the above situations, the rescue plan must contain elements on the following
aspects:
How to raise the alarm
Definition of possible intervention scenarios (not only with respect to the effects of oxygen
deficiency)
Any scenario related to adjacent workplaces that may require immediate exit from the zone

12. Overseers are not allowed to enter the space itself to rescue or assist the occupant, unless
they have been trained to perform rescue operations and another overseer has arrived to
replace them. The person on guard outside must be provided with the necessary safety
equipment (rescue ropes linked to the personnel inside, self-contained breathing apparatus,
lifting equipment).
13. Upon completion of the work activities within the confined space, the entrance supervisor
concludes the operations by indicating the date and time of completion on the permit and
also affixing his signature.
The above listed generically describes the procedures for managing works in a confined
environment by all the personnel concerned.

itself. check that the processes already active are compatible with the processes that are about to be
performed, this to avoid dangerous situations due to incompatible types of work (eg painting /
welding).
If required by the work permit and the preliminary analysis, the operators must place the personal
pass at the entrance to the confined space or hand the pass to the control officer who is stationed
outside the confined space, taking care to withdraw it and put it back every time they enter o they
leave the closed environment, so that it is clear the number of people who are inside the block
concerned.
Before getting off, make sure that no moving parts of any kind are in operation inside.
Provide for the simultaneous presence of at least two people: one outside and one inside.
The operator descending into the shaft must necessarily wear a safety harness so that in case of
danger or discomfort, the other operators can quickly retrieve it.
If a tripod is used, it is necessary to carry out at least a complete "stroke" test of the coupling device

The employee who remains outside with the task of supervising the status of the employee who is
inside the underground tank must have the detection tool available in order to periodically assess
the internal environment.
EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
In order to guarantee the safety of the operators employed inside the work rooms, a control person
must always be present outside, equipped with a radio, in constant communication with the
employee (s) inside.
In any case, the employee will have to periodically check the conditions of the operators personally.
In the event of an emergency outside the confined space, the external attendant immediately
evacuates the personnel from the confined space.
In case of illness of any operator, immediately activate the rescue measures by alerting the
emergency team and external rescuers. (115 and 118)
In the event of an accident with minor injuries, the employee immediately calls the Antonini Group
