1.0. CONFINED SPACE:

Sinohydro Corp. Co. Ltd. defines a Confined Space, as one that has limited or restricted means of
entry or exit is large enough for employees to enter and perform their work and is not designed
for continuous occupancy.
Any Manholes, Culverts, drilled holes/ Deep excavations (Deeper than 1.2 m), Sewer lines or
tunnels, Storage tanks, Silos, Boilers, Pipelines, Pits, Wells, Underground utility vaults and storage
will be considered as “Permit required confined space”.
1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF CONFINED SPACE
There are two types of confined spaces.
1.1. Class I confined space:
This is a permit-required confined space (PRCS) which, because of the nature of hazards or the
location of the space, it is not feasible or possible to render the space safe to enter
without proper respiratory protection. Authorized personnel entering this type of space must
wear appropriate supplied air respiratory equipment.
1.1.2. Class II confined space.
This is a permit-required confined space, which, due to the nature of the potential hazard(s)
or the location of the space, can be rendered safe for an employee to enter without wearing
respiratory protection.
This can be accomplished through work practice such as continuous ventilation and air
m o n i t o r i n g of the space.
1.1.3. Confined Space (manholes & culverts) Entry Plans

3.0. HAZARD CATEGORIES RELATED TO CONFINED SPACE ENTRY

The following are some of the general categories of hazards, which may be encountered in
confined space:
3.1 ATMOSPHERIC HAZARDS
Atmospheric hazards cause the most confined-space related deaths and injuries. Atmospheric
hazards generally cannot be seen, in most cases, it is too dangerous to assume that the sense
of smell will serve as an "early warning system” air monitoring is usually required if
atmospheric hazards are suspected.
There are three general classes of atmospheric hazards:
• Oxygen deficiency
• Combustible/ flammable materials
• Toxic gases
3.1.1.0xygen Deficiency
 Humans can survive for weeks without food, days without water, but only few minutes
 without air.
 Air contains a mixture of gases but is composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen
(21%).
 When levels of oxygen are reduced below 20%, serious health problem begins to occur
very
 quickly.
 Oxygen is consumed by a variety of chemical processes:
 Aerobic bacterial growth. (Consume oxygen to live)
 Oxidation of rusting of metals
 Combustion and displacement by other gases. (Welding and cutting torches) Effect of
Oxygen Deficiency
Oxygen Content Symptoms Physical Effects

18-23% None None

Rev. No.: 00
12-16% Increased Pulse Rate Lack Of "Fine" Co-ordination in

Fingers and
10-12% Rapid pulse Breathing Difficulties, Lack of Co-
Rate, Nausea, ordination
6-10% Headache - Complete lack of co-ordination,
inability to react to danger, loss of
0-6% - Death
3.1.2. Flammable/ Combustible Materials:

 Flammable and combustible materials are of an important concern with regards to
fires a n d explosions in c o n f i n e d s p a c e s . (Hydrogen S u l f i d e , Carbon Monoxide,
acetylene, and Methane).
 The proper mixture of fuel and oxygen varies from gas to gas, but explosion range is
defined as the area between the lower explosive limits (LEL) and the upper explosive limits
(UEL).
 When the mixture is above the upper explosive limits, it can readily move into
 Flammable range with the addition of dilution air.
 Potential source of ignition that could be found in confined spaces include open
flames, arcs from electrical equipment, hot surfaces, static electricity and frictional
sparks.
 All electrical and portable equipment will be used inside confined space as per G.l 6.012 and
SACSM Part 1-6.
3.1.3. Toxic Gas Hazards:

 Toxic or poisons gases present two kinds of risks in a confined space:
 Irritation- Many gases, existing in low concentration in the air, are irritating to the body's
respiratory and nervous system.
 Asphyxiation- Any gases which when present in high enough concentration, causes
 displacement of oxygen in the body.
3.1.4. Carbon Monoxide:

 Carbon Monoxide is one of the most common asphyxiates. It is produced by incomplete
combustion of carbon fuels.
 Carbon Monoxide kills by chemically combining w i t h t h e
 hemoglobin in red blood cells. This greatly reduces the ability of the blood to carry
 oxygen to the body tissues and brain cells.

Rev. No.: 00
3.1.5. Carbone monoxide Exposure Effects
3.1.6. Hydrogen Sulfide:
 This gas even more toxic than Carbon Monoxide. It is produced through the decay of
organisms and natural materials.
 This colorless gas has a characteristic rotten-egg odor at first Smell; however, after a short time
the gas renders the olfactory nerve (which controls the sense of smell) ineffective, and the
worker are no longer smells the substance, and yet it causes serious bodily harm in higher
concentrations.
3.1.7. Hydrogen Sulfide Exposure Effects
10 ppm Permissible Exposure Limit Over 8-hour shift.
50-100 ppm Mild eye and respiratory irritation.
200-300 ppm Marked increase in eye and lung irritation.
500-700 ppm Unconsciousness/death after 30-minute exposure.
1000 ppm or more Death within minutes.
4.0. MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL HAZARDS.

 The unexpected movement of mechanical equipment or the unexpected discharge of
electrical equipment in a confined space presents a very hazardous situation for anyone
within the space.
 Commonly encountered equipment includes: Blenders- Stirrers- mixers and agitators.
Page 8 of 23
Doc.No.:
Rev. No.: 00
 It is very important therefore to ensure that all mechanical and electrical equipment is
locked out and tagged out when any work is to be performed in a confined space.
5.0. OTHER HAZARDS.
Entrapment, Engulfment, Collapse
 The Degree holder Civil / Mechanical Engineer / confined space and excavation competent
person is responsible to make sure manhole confined spaces are safe and secure and he
shall secure it as per SA guidelines and Sinohydro Corp. Co. Ltd. excavation plan. Site
supervisor is responsible for the safety of excavated holes/ confined space areas.
 Whensoever it is necessary to place or operate heavy equipment at a minimum of 3-meter
distance. Or Motor vehicles, cranes and heavy equipment shall be kept away from the edge
of the excavation a distance of 2 m (6.5 ft) or the depth of the excavation, whichever is
greatest.
 Hard barricades (e.g., concrete or water-filled plastic “jersey” barriers, metal fencing) shall
be used to keep motor vehicles, cranes and heavy equipment at the proper distance away
from the excavation.
 Pedestrian barricades shall be placed no less than 1 m (3 ft) from the edge of the
excavation.
 If people or vehicles could be in the vicinity of the manholes/culverts / excavation after
dark, warning lights shall be used to mark the limits of the work. If possible, the grade
should slope away from the excavation.
6.0 GENERAL SAFETY (MEANS OF ACCESS/ EGRESS. TRIPS. SLIPS FALLS. HOT. COLD.
