What is a Confined Space?
According to OSHA, a confined space is defined by three key characteristics. First, it must be large enough for an employee to enter and perform work within it. Second, the space must have limited or restricted means for entry and exit, making it potentially difficult to get in or out quickly. Finally, a confined space is not designed for continuous human occupancy.
Common examples of confined spaces include:
- Sewer manholes
- Under trailer homes
- Underground storage tanks and vaults
- Pipelines
- Storage bins and silos
- Process vessels and pits
These environments often harbor unique hazards due to their limited access and potential for containing or developing dangerous atmospheres or other risks. They require specialized training, appropriate safety equipment, and well-defined procedures to safeguard the well-being of anyone who needs to enter them.
Why Confined Spaces Plumbing Services Require Experts
Plumbing in confined spaces presents serious risks, including:
- Exposure to toxic or hazardous gases
- Risk of engulfment by materials
- Potential for electrocution or explosions
- Asphyxiation due to poor ventilation
- Heat stress and mechanical hazards
That's why OSHA's Construction Confined Spaces standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA) requires strict compliance with safety protocols before entry, including atmosphere testing, ventilation, and rescue preparedness.
At Behle Inc., our team of fully trained plumbers is equipped to meet these regulations, ensuring your project proceeds safely and smoothly.
