Confined space
A confined space is one which is both enclosed or largely enclosed and has a reasonably foreseeable specified risk to workers of:
• fire
• explosion
• loss of consciousness
• asphyxiation
• drowning
It may be small and restrictive for the worker or it could be far larger such as a grain storage silo with hundreds of cubic metre capacity.

Hazards
Hazards in a confined space are dangerous because of the risks from noxious fumes, reduced oxygen levels, or a risk of fire. Other dangers may include flooding, drowning or asphyxiation from some other source such as dust, grain or other contaminant. By understanding the specific dangers and risks associated with different types of confined spaces, companies can take proactive steps to protect their workers. We specialise in providing comprehensive solutions for confined space rescue, ensuring the safety of workers in these challenging environments.
