Confined Space Risk Assessment

Confined Space Risk Assessment



Confined Space

Working in a confined space can put you at a high-risk of workplace accidents. As confined spaces are fully enclosed or partially enclosed, they provide a high-risk of fire, explosions, drowning, asphyxiation, and loss of consciousness. 

This is why you need a confined space risk assessment when working in this type of working environment. A confined space risk assessment will ensure your safety in these small and restricted areas. 

Here's a look at the types of scenarios you should be prepared for when creating a confined space risk assessment for your workplace. 

What to Consider in a Confined Space Risk Assesment

  • Will the confined space contain dangerous fumes? 
  • How will you remove or ventilate the area in the event of dangerous fumes? 
  • Can liquid flood the confined space? 
  • If so, how can you stop the liquid flooding in? Can valves be shut? 
  • Will there be enough oxygen in the confined space? 
  • Can you take breathing apparatus in the confined space? 
  • If someone is working alone in the confined space, how will you know if something goes wrong?
  • How can you get someone out of the confined space if they pass out? 

What Equipment Do You Need in a Confined Space?

After completing your confined space risk assessment, it is important to acquire the necessary equipment for the job. A confined space rescue kit is a good place to start with these types of operations.
