Confined Space Safety Topics

Confined spaces present unique hazards that require special precautions to ensure worker safety. These areas — such as tanks, tunnels, silos, and storage vessels — often have limited entry and exit points, poor ventilation, and the potential for toxic atmospheres, engulfment, or oxygen deficiency.

This page features key confined space safety topics, including entry procedures, hazard identification, permit-to-work systems, and emergency rescue plans. These resources are designed to help employers and safety professionals protect workers and stay compliant with confined space safety regulations.
