FAQ's - Confined Space Risk Assessment

A risk assessment should identify potential hazards in a workplace or confined space. A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm. A hazard in isolation, is not necessarily harmful – but interaction with something else (i.e. a person) may make it harmful.
These regulations contain the following key duties: avoid entry to confined spaces, e.g. by doing the work from the outside; if entry to a confined space is unavoidable, follow a safe system of work; and. put in place adequate emergency arrangements before the work start.
By law, every employer must conduct risk assessments on the work their employees do. If the company or organisation employs more than five employees, then the results should be recorded with details of any groups of employees particularly at risk such as older, younger, pregnant or disabled employees.
Steps needed to manage risk •Identify hazards. •Assess the risks. •Control the risks. •Record your findings. •Review the controls.
What's Required for a Confined Space Hazard Evaluation •hazardous atmosphere – such as low oxygen or a toxic gas. •potential for engulfment or suffocation – a risk of drowning or being buried. •a layout that might trap a worker through converging walls or a sloped floor. •or any other serious safety or health hazard.
Ensure constant monitoring and effective communication Ensuring constant monitoring and effective communication is essential to guarantee the safety of workers in confined spaces. A worker should never intervene alone in a confined space, as this significantly increases the risks in case of a problem.
A confined space has two defining features: •It must be a space which is substantially (though not always entirely) enclosed. •One or more of the specified risks must be present, or reasonably foreseeable when considering the space and/or the work to be conducted.
When testing for atmospheric hazards, test first for oxygen, then for combustible gases and vapors, and then for toxic gases and vapors.
Wherever possible, you should avoid carrying out tasks in confined spaces. If this is not possible, you must assess the risks of the particular confined space and plan how you will control those risks. For example, if: a confined space has harmful fumes, you should consider how these can be ventilated or removed.
