A confined space is any place such as a chamber, tank, pit or sewer that by virtue of its enclosed nature presents a foreseeable risk from hazard. By failing to follow important new regulations on working in confined spaces, employers are putting the lives of both their employees and contractors at risk.
This 18 minute video, using compelling dramatisation, shows how to prevent costly accidents, as it follows investigators making enquiries into the deaths of two contractors. A Fatal Decision identifies potential hazards of working in confined spaces; and outlines the elements of risk assessments needed if employers or contractors have to enter a confined space.
These include assessing the confined space and the need to isolate it including - oxygen levels, hazards from the work to be carried out, establishing rescue arrangements.
The video also highlights the importance of the correct selection of personnel, who should be medically fit and receive correct information, instruction and training.
