Risk prevention in confined spaces

Confined or difficult-to-access spaces are relatively common in the industry. Many circumstances force us to have to access them and carry out different operations.

These are high-risk situations since the probability of accumulation of toxic or flammable products is multiplied due to the little or no ventilation in the place.

To all this we must add the difficulty of accessing, assisting and evacuating a possible accident victim.

Therefore, it is necessary that all workers who acquire this type of risk are aware of them and know the techniques for access, stay, exit and rescue of possible victims.

AIM

Make the worker aware of the risks in confined spaces, access protocols and rescue and evacuation procedures.
