S:
√ Ventilation
A tank or vessel is prepared for a confined space entry by:
- Emptying and removing residue by cold-water flush, chemical neutralisation,
air/nitrogen purge or other suitable means
- Venting harmful vapors to a safe point to discharge, preferably by a method of
mechanical exhaust to avoid re-circulating contaminated air
- Grounding air-moving equipment
- Eliminating all sources of possible ignition if the decontamination involves
flammable liquids, vapors, gases or dirt
- Electrically bonding (grounding) steam lines to the tanks or vessel if it contains
(or may contain) flammable material to eliminate static electricity and prevent
auto-ignition of flammables
- Air movers or blowers must be used for venting and to provide a continuous
supply of fresh air while the work is in progress, unless sufficient airflow is
obtained through a free flow process. Air movers of blowers must be installed in
such a position that the fresh air intakes do not draw in exhausted fumes or
vapors.
Isolation
A tank or vessel is isolated from all other systems and or equipment and
measures are taken to prevent harmful material (solids, liquids, vapors or gases)
3 2 H 1 2 T
from entering the tank or vessel while employees are inside by:
- Physically disconnecting lines if they have contained hazardous fluids or inert
gas or if they contain fluids at high pressure or temperatures.
- Removing valves and placing blank flanges in the lines as close as possible to
the confined space
- Disconnecting or blanking drains or overflow lines if they extend into a space
from which steam, vapor or fumes could be conducted back into the tank or
vessel if they connect to other equipment or if they extend to a remote location
- Blanking or capping open ends of disconnected lines
- Ensuring that blinds are of sufficient length to withstand maximum pressures that
may be imposed and are of material that will withstand corrosion of chemicals to
which they may be exposed
Testing and Monitoring
Atmosphere both in and around the confined space should be tested before entry.
Tests should be repeated at regular intervals while work is in progress and always
after a break in the work.
Control of Ignition Sources
- Use of intrinsically safe electrical equipment e.g. Gas testing equipment, radios
- Earth any equipment that can become charged with static electricity e.g.
ventilation educators and hoses, spray painting guns and ensure that vessels are
earthed.

S : Confirming that the atmosphere in the confined space is safe for entry,
for planned work and requiring persons to leave the space in case of an
increased level during the work.
H : MSDS
Substances that are harmful by inhalation normally have an assigned
2 2 M 1 2 T
Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) and an action limit of 50% of the
published OEL should be applied as the trigger for implementing specific
measures for controlling exposure to the toxic substance during the
confined space work, but the target should be to reduce the airborne
concentration to ALARP.
S : When specifying the use of PPE consideration should be given to the
risk of increasing heat stress and the need for appropriate work patterns.
Access and Escape
- Equipment and persons to be moved into and out of the space
- Space for the intended work
2 M 1 2 T
- Attendant to keep persons under observation
- Persons to escape in an emergency
An adequate and effective means of communication should be
established before persons enter the space.
H : Fitness to Work – Pre-employment medical and medical history
