Atmospheric testing is required for two distinct purposes: evaluation of the hazards of the permit space and verification that acceptable conditions exist for entry into that space. Evaluation Testing: The atmosphere within a confined space must be tested using equipment that is designed to detect the chemicals that may be...
Confined spaces present a special type of danger – a danger that you may not recognize until you’ve already entered a confined space and encountered the hazard. By then, it may be too late. Toxic gases, lack of oxygen, shifting materials inside, and other hazards can cause injury or death...

Confined Space Entry Confined spaces present a special type of danger – a danger that you may not recognize until you’ve already entered a confined space and encountered a hazard. By then, it may be too late. Toxic gases, lack of oxygen, shifting materials inside, explosions, unexpected start-ups of machinery,...
Confined Space Entry – Don’t Be a Dead Hero Over half the workers who die in confined spaces are attempting to rescue other workers. Attendants should not enter a confined space until help arrives and then only if trained and with proper protective equipment, lifelines, and respirators. Confined spaces...
