Confined spaces in the workplace can pose serious physical hazards to employees. Employees can become entrapped or engulfed within a confined space and/or they could be exposed to dangerous atmospheric conditions. All of which could result in tragic consequences. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines a confined space as one that meets all three of the following conditions 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.146(b):
- Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work;
- Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and
- Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
