    • Permit Required Confined Space has one or more of the following characteristics:
    • 1 . Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous
    • atmosphere;
    • 2. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant;
    • 3. Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by sloped/tapered floors.

    What are the Hazards?

    • Potential Hazards in Confined Spaces
    • Asphyxiating - Oxygen
    • Deficiency
    • <19.5% or >23.5% oxygen concentration
    • CO2
    • CO 2 is toxic in higher concentrations:
    • 1% (10,000 ppm) will make some people feel drowsy.
    • Concentrations of 7% to 10% cause dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness within a few minutes to an hour.
    • Toxic Materials
    • Carbon Monoxide
    • Hydrogen Sulphide
    • Welding fumes
    • Corrosives
    • Mechanical Hazards
    • Mixers
    • Crushers
    • Engulfment
    • Soil around an excavation
    • Grain in a silo
    • Powdered material in a bin

    Confined Space Training

    • OSHA 1910.146(g) Training
    • The employer shall provide training so that all employees whose work is regulated by this section acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of the duties assigned under this section.

    Confined Space Training – Part

    • OSHA 1910.146(g)
    • 2
    • Training
    • Training shall be provided to each affected employee:
    • Before the employee is first assigned duties under this section;
    • Before there is a change in assigned duties;
    • Whenever there is a change in permit space operations that presents a hazard about which an employee has not previously been trained;
    • Whenever the employer has reason to believe either that there are deviations from the permit space entry procedures.

    • Confined Space Training – Part
    • Confined Space
    • Entry :
    • The action by which a person passes through an opening into a permit-required confined space; Entry includes ensuing work activities in that space and is considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the entrant’s body breaks the plane of an opening into the space.
