Safety in Any Confined Space
Confined space work can be challenging, and often, dangerous. Be prepared with MSA safety solutions.
Confined spaces exist in many shapes and sizes and are found in heavy industry, food and beverage manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, oil and gas, utility and communications installations, public works and wastewater treatment, and construction sites.
OSHA defines a “permit-required confined space” as any area that:*
- Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere
- Includes material that has the potential to engulf anyone who enters
- Features walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward, tapering to a smaller space that can trap or asphyxiate an entrant
- Comprises any other recognized safety or health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or heat stress
