Confined Spaces Rescuers Account for Over 60% of Confined Space Fatalities Confined Space Tragedies Three construction supervisors die from asphyxiation in a manhole. Oxygen levels 18.5 – 20 and Methane levels 300 – 600 ppm Training Outline What is a Confined Space? Confined Spaces on Campus Confined Space Hazards PPE Equipment Requirements The Entry Permit Duties of Authorized Entrants, Attendants and Entry Supervisor Rescue and Emergency Services Contractors Regulatory Requirement What is a Confined Space? Large enough that an employee can enter and perform assigned work Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit Not designed for continuous employee occupancy Examples tanks pits tunnels vaults boilers sewers shafts ventilation ducts crawl spaces Permit-RequiredConfined Space Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant Internal configuration that might cause entrant to be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard ECU Confined Spaces ECU Confined Spaces Atmospheric Hazards Oxygen Levels - below 19.5 % or above 23.5% Flammable/Explosive – exceeds 10% of Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) Toxic Substances – exceed Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) Oxygen Deficiency Normal air contains 21% Oxygen (O2). An O2 level of 19.5% or less is considered O2 deficient. A reduction in O2 can be caused by rusting, decomposition, or replacement by another gas. Lack of O2 can cause a person to collapse and die. Oxygen Deficiency Oxygen Enrichment O2 levels above 23.5% are considered “Oxygen Enriched.” Oxygen Enriched atmospheres create fire and explosion hazards. Cause flammable materials such as clothing to burn rapidly when ignited and may cause non-flammable materials to ignite. Hydrogen Sulfide Exposure Carbon Monoxide Exposure W
