What are the Safety Precautions in Confined Space?

What are the duties of a confined space?

The precautions or rescue plan for confined spaces consists of steps that are performed by designated personnel to rescue employees from enclosed spaces. Most often the emergency and rescue services take into use a retrieval system or equipment which are used for non-entry rescue of workers from confined spaces. Given below you can find OSHA requirements that are associated with a confined space rescue plan:

• Development and implementation of procedures for emergency services and summoning rescue to safeguard entrants from confined spaces, to facilitate rescued employees with emergency services, and to obstruct unauthorized personnel from performing a rescue.

• Evaluation of the capabilities of a prospective rescuer to respond in the situation of a rescue summons timely, taking into consideration the hazards identified.

• Evaluation of the capabilities of a prospective rescue service when it comes to proficiency and expertise related to rescue tasks and equipment, to perform adequately while rescuing entrants from the specific enclosed space or types of enclosed spaces identified.

• Selection of a rescue service or team from those whose evaluation has been done.

• Make each rescue service or team aware of the hazards they may come across when they are called on to perform rescue at the site.

• Allow the selected rescue service or team access to all the confined spaces from which rescue might be required. It will make them capable of developing a suitable rescue plan and practicing rescue operations.

• Provide appropriate training to employees to undertake assigned rescue duties.

• Make employees well aware of to use of basic first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
