Confined Space Rescue

About Course
Confident spaces are present everywhere in the industry, and they are the places where accidents occur frequently. Many conditions that cause hazards do not refer only to closed spaces, but they deteriorate by introducing a fenced area in a confined space. Indoor spaces are much more dangerous than normal confident spaces. Seemingly minor changes in conditions can instantly change the status of these jobs from harmless to life-threatening.
Many workers are injured and killed each year while working in confined spaces Every day approximately 1,000 men and women worldwide die from work-related accidents and more than 6,500 workers die from diseases related to work (Päivi H., Jukka T. and Kaija L. S. (2005)). Developing countries face the greatest burden, with a higher rate of accidents due to economic challenges.
In these countries, the informal economy accounts for a large percentage of economic activity. As a result, many work-related accidents and occupational diseases go unreported. An estimated 60% of the fatalities have been among the rescuers (Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety n.d.).
A confined space can be more hazardous than regular workspaces for many reasons. To effectively control the risks associated with working in a confined space, a confined space hazard assessment and control program should be implemented in any confined space workplace. Before putting together this program, have to review the specific regulations that apply to confined space workplaces. Jurisdictions within any country’s regulations dealing with confined space entry. The regulations can vary slightly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
If the confined space cannot be made safe for the worker by taking precautions then workers should NOT enter the confined space until it is made safe to enter by additional means. All confined spaces should be considered hazardous unless a competent person has determined otherwise through a risk assessment.
