Enter Confined Space

The repercussions of working in a hazardous confined space could cause a tragedy. People’s lives are being taken due to lack of training and understanding.

Entering confined space is potentially the most dangerous environment workers may encounter on any work site. These encompass hazardous activities such as excavation, electrical, hot work, work at heights, also water and sandblasting operations. The possibility of contaminates, such as Methane, Hydrogen Sulphate and other gases within the confined space is a real and constant threat. This can lead to serous illness and or death if not correctly investigated and controlled.
