Risk Control Plan

Section 11 – Confined Spaces
Confined spaces are spaces or structures with limited openings for entry or exit (pits, tunnels, shafts, storage tanks, bins, etc.), and are not intended for continuous employee occupancy. Stringent requirements were developed for these areas since they might contain hazardous atmospheres like dusts, vapors, fumes, gas, or other harmful substances. Section 11, Confined Spaces, contains the requirements for practices and procedures to protect employees from hazards found in confined space working environments.
