Confined Space Entry Procedures in hindi ।। 2022 । confined space top ten procedures । safe to india

When people do enter confined spaces, there can be a risk of entrapment, asphyxiation or exposure to chemicals.  Further, there may be abnormal temperatures, moving machinery or sources of energy such as a live electrical system.  Other situations might involve unsecured items (like a vessel lining or caked solids on the roof of a coal-fired boiler).  These solids might dislodge or fall from above onto workers in the space below.

Entering confined spaces for any reason is very dangerous and the legislation will normally require that a permit to work be issued for all work taking place in this space.   Even in circumstances where legislation is not prescriptive, the duty of care will apply and employers will need to take the necessary precautions to avoid harm.

Confined spaces need to be clearly identified and their locations and any specific hazards need to be made known to all people working in that area.   Danger signs need to be clearly visible and suitable measures such as barriers or fences need to be in place to prevent anyone not authorized from entering these spaces.

When designing the plant, any confined space entry needs to first be avoided by first considering alternatives.   These might include easy disassembly of equipment for improved access, allowing for decoupling and removing machinery out of enclosed units, allowing adequate space for easy entry and exit from vessels, special tools, including a second access point to avoid the risk of entrapment and so on.

Having identified the confined spaces on the plant, the employer will also need to create a written procedure for confined space entry.  This procedure needs to be made available to those doing the work and should be in simple language to be understood by everyone involved.   Training is one way to make sure that these procedures are properly followed and this can be done as part of the site induction program for contractors, or as part of a structured training program for permanent employees.

The confined space entry procedure needs to accommodate the following steps:

As far as possible, prevention and avoidance of any task that will involve confined space work.

Preparations to make the enclosed space safe (for example by isolating energy sources, purging with air, maintaining oxygen levels, testing for toxic or explosive gases).

Informing persons involved in the work on their roles and responsibilities and making sure they are competent for their specific role.

Creation and regular review of a confined space register including relevant rescue plans and drawing.

Provide all necessary protective, extraction/retrieval and environmental monitoring equipment.

Ensuring that emergency services are available and the procedures are in place and understood for rapidly mobilizing assistance if required.

Issue and manage the confined space permit in line with the companies written procedures.

Monitor the work taking place for additional hazards, adjacent work, changes in the environment/conditions and the progress/signs of physical and mental exhaustion of the people involved.

Testing that work has been done satisfactorily and that these tests are also done under safe conditions.

Proper restoration of the site after work has been completed for the resumption of normal operations.
