Confined spaces can be found in almost all work environments and planning for rescue and retrieval is often overlooked. This presentation will focus on requirements and practices associated with getting people in and out of confined spaces safely and with ease. Understanding the legal requirements is only the first obstacle in making sure workers are safe while working in confined spaces. There will be a brief discussion of the definition of a confined space. Requirements of permit or non-permit spaces will be outlined. It will also be discussed that treating all confined spaces like “permit required” is one way to making confined space entry easy. The presentation will cover some key fundamental principles that when followed will help make confined space entry and rescue easy. These include making decisions for the employee before work begins; and making sure everyone knows the role they fill. The final part of the presentation will cover some simple techniques and practices that can be used to make even the toughest entry and rescue easy.
