Confined Space Entry
According to OHS legislation, a confined space is an enclosed or partially enclosed space:
- Not intended for regular human occupancy
- With restricted access or exit; and
- Is or may become hazardous to a person entering it because of design, construction, location, atmosphere or materials in it.
Note that to be considered a confined space, all three requirements must be met. Common examples of a confined space are sewers, silos, and empty tanks.
