Confined Space Safety Services

What is a Confined Space? 

1. An Employee Can Bodily Enter 
2. Limited or Restricted Entry or Exit 
3. Not Designed For Continuous Occupancy 

According to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 regulation, if a work area meets one or more of the above criteria then it is designated as a Confined Space.  

Confined Spaces examples may include: 

• Underground vaults 
• Tanks 
• Storage bins 
• Manholes 
• Pits 
• Silos 
• Process vessels 
• Pipelines
