About the problem
Working in a confined space can be fatal.
Confined spaces are common in many industries and involve significant risks for employees who need to work inside them.
Limited means of entry and exit, poor ventilation and the presence of toxic gases and vapours in confined spaces pose serious risks to workers.
People have also been killed as a result of being suffocated or crushed by materials stored in the space.
This guide will help you understand the risks, and will explain what you need to do to make your workplace safe.
