Gas safety in confined spaces

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

A confined space is any space large
enough for someone to enter and
perform assigned work, which has
limited means of entry or exit, and
which is not designed for
continuous worker occupancy.

A confined space is any space large
enough for someone to enter and
perform assigned work, which has
limited means of entry or exit, and
which is not designed for
continuous worker occupancy.

This covers most industries and
employers must assess the risks
these
workplaces
pose to
their
employees
and
endeavour
to prevent
them. In
most cases,
both the
assessment
and the
safe
working
system will
require testing of the atmosphere
with gas detection equipment.

Crowcon’s Gas-Pro multi-gas
detector is reported to be ideal for
this purpose. Robust, reliable and
simple to use with a bright, easy to
read display and long battery life, it
means personnel entering confined
spaces can focus on the task in
hand, safe in the knowledge that
their gas detector is watching their
back.
