Carlos C Bejar 5.0 out of 5 stars The colored pictures and descriptions are very helpful, especially for someone with no prior confined space experience. That takes serious effort. Contact us and we'll wrap our minds around your problem. Raven Safety can assist with every phase of a project. Our curriculum is NFPA compliant and recognized worldwide. Give us a call. We’re here Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm PST. 1-800-880-0287. Both individual and team skills are extensively addressed. Topics that are thoroughly covered are hazard, gas detection, legislation, international guidelines, key learning, extensive loads and forces, building anchors, using pulley systems, use of tripod for entry and evacuation, self-climbing and rappelling, lowering and hoisting of rescuer and victim, use of stretchers and various stretcher configurations in confined spaces, moving and evacuations from manholes, victim care, building horizontal span, situation analysis, incident management and various scenarios.

Annex A: Checklist 19 Annex B: Sample of Tags 23 Annex C: Sample of Permit to Enter a Confined Space 24 References 25 INTRODUCTION Entering and working in confined spaces pose serious and immediate threats to the lives and well being of employees. Work processes such as welding, cutting or brazing, and certain chemical reactions such as rusting and bacterial reaction (fermentation) can also reduce oxygen concentration. 2. Flammable atmospheres Flammable or explosive atmosphere results from: a.
An oxygen enriched atmosphere exists where the oxygen in the air is greater than 21%. An oxygen enriched atmosphere will cause flammable materials such as clothing and hair to burn violently when ignited. b. Flammable gas, vapor or dust in proper proportion. Work being conducted in a confined space can generate a flammable atmosphere. Examples are spray painting,coating or use of flammable solvents for cleaning.Welding or cutting operations using oxyacetylene equipment can also cause explosion in confined space. Atmosphere is considered unacceptable if a flammable gas, vapor or mist is in excess of 10% of Lower Flammability Limit (LFL).Combustible airborne occur when dust concentration meets or exceed its LFL. 3. Toxic atmospheres Toxic atmospheres are those which contain toxic substances in a concentration that exceeds the Threshold Limit Value (TLV), as specified in the Occupational Safety and Health Standards or Material Safety Data Sheet of that substance. Toxic substances in atmosphere may come from the following: a. Products stored in the confined space Products stored in confined space can be absorbed in walls and let off toxic vapors when removed or when cleaning residual materials. 4 b. Work being performed in a confined space Ex.Example: exhaust fumes from internal combustion engines placed near the manhole. Workers can be trapped and die of exposure or suffocation before anyone would know they are missing. Figure 2: During removal of sludge from a tank, decomposed material can let off deadly hydrogen sulfide gas. Figure 3: Fumes from welding workks are very toxic in a confined space. 5 Figure 4: Workers in small scale mining area exposed to danger of collapse, cave - in, oxygen deficiency and other physical hazards. 6 4. Mechanical and Physical Hazards a. Rotating or moving mechanical parts or energy sources can create hazards within a confined space. b. Physical factors such as heat, cold, noise, vibration and fatigue can contribute to accidents. c.
Loose materials such as, fine coal, sawdust or grains can engulf and suffocate the workers. Figure 5: The hazard of Engulfment in Unstable Material 7 CONTROL OF HAZARDS 1. Testing and monitoring of atmospheres It is necessary to test all areas (top,middle,bottom) of a confined space with properly calibrated testing instruments to determine oxygen concentration and the presence of toxic gases. If testing reveals oxygen deficiency or the presence of toxic gases or vapors, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or other chemical information of such substances must be obtained in order to determine the potential health effects, the Treshold Limit Value (TLV) and any other information needed to safely perform the work. Figure 6: Test all areas of confined space (top, bottom, middle) 2. Purging Purging displaces the toxic air in a confined space through steam, air, water or inert gas. 3. Isolation Isolation of a confined space is a process where the space is removed from service and completely protected against the release of energy into the space. 8 It is accomplished through: a. Lock out - All mechanical equipment in a confined space must be disconnected from the power source at the panel board and the controls “locked out” to prevent accidental start-up. This includes electrical, mechanical, steam, compressed gas, hydraulic and gravity. There shall only be one (1) key for the lock in the possession of the worker. A tag - out should accompany the lock to identify operation and prohibition. The process is illustrated in Figure 7 and 8 below. Blanks used to seal off lines shall be capable of with standing the maximum working pressure and corrosion properties of the materials. Equipment with moving mechanical parts can also be blocked in such a manner that there is no possibility of accidental rotation. 4. Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) A worker entering a confined space must be equipped with appropriate PPE relative to the hazard present in the confined space.
If there is a likelihood of accidental exposure to toxic substances and traumatic injury, whole body protection must be considered. The standby person should not have any other duties but to serve as lookout and launch an alert in case of emergency. Standby personnel should not enter a confined space until help arrives and then only with the proper protective equipment. Figure 12: Entry with hoist and Standby Personnel 11 7. Permit System A Confined Space Entry Permit is a written authorization to enter and work in confined spaces; it clearly states all known or potential hazards, and identifies the safety equipment required to ensure the safety of the worker. (Refer to Annex C - for sample of Confined Space Entry Permit). 8. Ventilation Ventilation by a blower or fan may be necessary to supply fresh air to breathe and to remove harmful gases and vapors from a confined space. A ventilation system may be either mechanical, natural or combination of both, depending upon the size and shape of the confined space and the work to be performed. However, precautions should be taken since ventilation systems can cause problems such as; a. They can feed contaminated air into the confined space, therefore, make sure that the air being supplied is clean. b. They can block exits. c. In an explosive atmosphere, ventilation can be an ignition source. If the ventilation system is exhausting flammable vapors, it must be explosion proof. Identifying all confined spaces All confined spaces located within the premises should be identified. The training should be conducted not earlier than one day before entry is to be made. Then, shut off ventilation equipment and re-test the oxygen content. If oxygen content is between 19.5% and 21.5%, continue entry preparation. f. The entry supervisor will test for flammable gas level. If the meter reading is less than 10% of the lower explosive limit (LEL), continue entry preparations.
If the meter reading is above the 10% of the LEL, continue ventilation of the confined space. The standby person(s) is not allowed to enter the confined space for any reason. 18 ANNEX A (Adapted from the NIOSH Guide to Safety in Confined Space) CHECKLIST Is entry necessary?
