6 Introduction
7 Serious accidents continue to occur whilst work is being done inside
confined spaces. A significant number of these are fatal and multiple
8
fatalities are not uncommon. Closed vessels and tanks, large ducts,
9 enclosed effluent drains and process vessels are readily recognizable
as confined spaces but any workplace in which gases, vapors, etc,
10 could accumulate, or where there could be a shortage of oxygen, may
be hazardous. Included among these are open topped tanks and vats,
11 large diameter open ended pipe work, fabrications where heavier than
12 air gases may be used, closed and unventilated rooms, and enclosed
work areas when welding or applying or using paints/solvents.
13
Main Hazard Sources
14
The main risks are those associated with toxic and/or flammable
15 gases, fumes and vapors. Examples are gas or vapor remaining from
16 a process which has previously been carried on in a confined space,
gas or vapor which enters from adjoining plant from which it has not
17 been effectively isolated and fumes or gases produced by the work
being carried on inside the confined space or on pipes leading to it.
18
The types of activity where fumes, gas or vapor are likely to arise
19 include:-
20
Ø Welding
21 Ø Burning
Ø Cutting
22 Ø Grinding
Ø Use of chemicals, e.g. dye-penetrated testing
23 Ø Use of adhesive or solvents
24 Ø Brush or spray paints or surface coatings.
Ø The products of combustion of various fuels.
25 Ø Oxygen enrichment of the atmosphere caused by operations
which involve an excess of oxygen or flammable gas or
26 vapors.
