1. Risk Assessment C onfined S pace W orking Accidents in Confined Spaces may devastating and result in severe injury or death. Each year, hundreds of people are injured or die as a result of entering confined spaces. The majority of deaths in confined spaces are caused by hazardous atmospheres such as toxic gases, flammable atmosphere or lack of oxygen. The remaining deaths are the result of physical hazards, where workers may be crushed, struck by falling objects, or buried in materials. To prevent unnecessary injuries or the loss of life, OSHA enacted the Permit-Required Confined Spaces Standard (29 CFR 1910.146), effective April 15, 1993. The standard requires that all confined spaces be identified and that a written program be generated to outline procedures required for entry into those spaces. Fire Protection Association of Pakistan is widely viewed today as the leading Health and Fire Safety Consultant. Our experienced and qualified trainers have an average of more than 25 years of experience The courses and training which have been design and provided by FPAP meet OSHA and Confined Space Regulation 1997. 2-A, Sharfabad Club Building, B.M.C.H.S, Karachi- Pakistan T : +92-21-32084284 W : www.fpap.org.pk F : +92-21-35248595 E: info@fpap.org.pk M: 0304-2288161

2. W hat is C onfined S pace A space large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work. In addition, a confined space has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Examples of Confined Space are:  Tank  Ducts  Trench  Sanitary Sewers  Boilers  Coal Bunkers  Silos  Vaults  Storage Hoppers etc 2-A, Sharfabad Club Building, B.M.C.H.S, Karachi- Pakistan T : +92-21-32084284 W : www.fpap.org.pk F : +92-21-35248595 E: info@fpap.org.pk M: 0304-2288161 S tandard O perating P rocedure Confined Space Standard operating procedures (SOP) describe the method(s) that will be used to complete a Confined Space task or operation. Departments with confined spaces must develop SOPs and incorporate them into Confined Space manual to complete their Confined Spaces Program. Procedures must be developed by departments for the items outlined below to make the program specific to their areas. Training of designated employees. Preparation, issuance, use, and cancellation of Entry Permits. Conclusion of confined space entries (closing the space, debriefing). Communication b/w Attendant, Authorized Entrants and with rescue and emergency personnel. Prevention of unauthorized entry into permit-required confined spaces. Coordination of confined space entries with contractors. The qualified person must write procedures specific to each confined space entry based on the hazard assessment. The hazard assessment takes into account the conditions of the space prior to entry as well the work activities that will take place inside the space. The written procedures therefore will also consider both. Workers must be trained in the precautions identified in the written procedures.

3. I nstruction and T raining R equirement Specific instruction and training must be given to those who enter a confined space as well as to those contributing to the work activity but not entering the space, such as standby workers and rescue personnel. 2-A, Sharfabad Club Building, B.M.C.H.S, Karachi- Pakistan T : +92-21-32084284 W : www.fpap.org.pk F : +92-21-35248595 E: info@fpap.org.pk M: 0304-2288161 Workers must be instructed and trained in: Hazards of the confined space Written safe work procedures to safely perform their duties, including safe entry into the space as well as procedures for working inside The employer must ensure that all confined space hazards are eliminated or minimized and that work is performed in a safe manner. There may be ways to do the work from outside the space or finding ways to reduce the time workers spend inside the confined space.. The employer is responsible for preparing and implementing a written confined space entry program, which includes: Assigning responsibilities for ensuring requirements are met (for example, a list of the responsibilities assigned to specific job titles) Listing each confined space or group of similar spaces and ensuring that there is a hazard assessment of those spaces. The hazard assessment must be prepared by the qualified person. Selecting the qualified person who is competent to provide a hazard assessment and safe work procedures. E mployer’s R esponsibility
