6 HAZARD IN CONFINED SPACE

Confined space can be a deadly space if necessary actions is not taken properly. Hazard that
are present during the confined space activities:

 Poor air quality: There may be an insufficient amount of oxygen for the worker to breathe.
The atmosphere might contain a poisonous substance that could make the worker ill or
even cause the worker to lose consciousness. Natural ventilation alone will often not be
sufficient to maintain breathable quality air.
 Chemical exposures due to skin contact or ingestion as well as inhalation of 'bad' air.
 Fire Hazard: There may be an explosive/flammable atmosphere due to flammable liquids
and gases and combustible dusts which if ignited would lead to fire or explosion.
 Process-related hazards such as residual chemicals, release of contents of a supply line.
 Noise.
 Safety hazards such as moving parts of equipment, structural hazards, entanglement,
slips, falls.
 Radiation.
 Temperature extremes including atmospheric and surface.
 Shifting or collapse of bulk material.
 Barrier failure resulting in a flood or release of free-flowing solid.
 Uncontrolled energy including electrical shock.
 Visibility.
 Biological hazards

7 COMMUNICATION

An adequate communication system is required to enable:

 Communication between people inside and people outside the confined space.
 Help to be summoned in an emergency.
 Emergency rescue procedures to be initiated.

Systems can include speech, tugs on a rope, walkie-talkie etc. Equipment to be used in
potentially flammable or explosive atmospheres should be specially protected so they do not
present a source of ignition.

9.2 RISK ASSESSMENT

The risk assessment may highlight a need to check that the atmosphere is free from both toxic
and flammable vapors and that there is an adequate concentration of oxygen prior to entry. A
competent person using a suitable gas detector, which is correctly calibrated, must carry out
testing. Where the risk assessment indicates that conditions may change, or as a further
precaution, continuous monitoring of the air may be necessary. Test results must be recorded on
the permit to enter.

The test equipment used in confined space will include the following measurements:
 Oxygen Level
 Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)
 Toxic substances i.e., H2S, CO (Depend on confined space environment)

The person may not to enter the confined space unless the testing conducted shown:

 The oxygen concentration is in range 19.5% to 22.5%.

 The atmosphere is not explosive, with flammable levels less than 10% of LEL.

The oxygen content must be between 19.5% to 22.5% since if the oxygen content less or more
than these percentages will often cause “false readings “for flammable levels.

 The concentration of airborne toxic materials is below the action level (less than ¼) of the
occupational exposure limits (25% of OEL). The external atmosphere is safe from toxic
materials.
 A differential between outside and inside unsuspected contaminations that may be
present.
 The temperature in the confined space is not or will not become hazardous.
 Adequate ventilation will prevent the accumulation of hazardous atmosphere.

In event of a monitoring alarm or other emergency stopping the work being carried out, the
recipients will discuss the conditions with the Confined Space Entry Authorized Permit Issuer
before recommencing work.

2. One attendant is required outside the permit space for the duration of entry operations.
3. Ensure the is no equipment or materials is blocking the exit or rescue effort.
4. To maintain continuous communication between personnel inside and outside the confined
space.
5. Lockout/tagout procedures will be followed on all applicable equipment

9.3.3 Safety Pre-cautions

Even when the confined space is tested and certified safe for any person to enter, at least one
person in a group working in the same vicinity shall be equipped with suitable instrument for
measuring oxygen, combustible and the identified toxic contaminants

In addition to the continuous ventilation requirement, it is essential to conduct the periodic

retesting, taking the following factors into consideration

 The possibility or likelihood of a change in the space by the potential release of the
hazardous materials.
 When a confined space is vacated for a significant period of time ≥ 30 min, without the
space being monitored continuously.
 When the atmospheric hazards in a confined space is detected by the confined space
safety assessor during periodic testing or continuous monitoring, all persons in the
confined space shall vacate the confined space immediately.
 An evaluation shall be made to determine how the hazardous atmosphere was developed.
 No person shall re-enter the confined space until it has been re-certified safe for entry and
a new confined space entry permit is issued.
