LegislationIreland LegislationIn the UK the <strong>Confined</strong> Space Regulations 1997 specifically pertain to theidentification and management of confined space working, the regulations arepublished with an accompanying Guidance and Approved Code of Practice (HSEL101). The regulations apply to all premises covered by the Healthand <strong>Safety</strong> at Work etc Act 1974 with the exception of mines and diving operations.The regulations and the Approved Code of Practice mustbe considered before any attempt to enter a confinedspace. One of the key requirements of the regulations isfor employers to find a reasonably practicable method ofcompleting the work in the confined space without entry.The requirements of the Health and <strong>Safety</strong> at Work etc Act1974 and the Management of Health and <strong>Safety</strong> at WorkRegulations 1999 would also have to be considered in thepreparation of any risk assessment and safe system ofwork including training.Other legislation may also be relevant depending onthe work to be carried out in the confined space, wherehazards such as hazardous substances, manual handling,electricity and work at height may be present.Personal protective clothing and equipment along withrespiratory protective equipment may be specified andused in confined spaces and this will mean the relevantregulations surrounding the supply, maintenance andtraining will also have to be considered.Source: The <strong>Confined</strong> Space Regulations 1997Health and <strong>Safety</strong> Executive: <strong>Confined</strong> <strong>Spaces</strong>,A Brief Guide to Working SafelyOther regulations that need to betaken in to consideration whenworking in confined spaces are:• The Health and <strong>Safety</strong> at Work etc Act 1974• The Management of Health and <strong>Safety</strong>at Work Regulations 1999• The Personal Protective Equipmentat Work Regulations 2002• Respiratory Protective Equipment at WorkGuidance HSG53• The Control of Substances Hazardous to HealthRegulations 2002• The Provision and Use of Work EquipmentRegulations 1998• Electricity at Work Regulations 1989• Workplace (Health, <strong>Safety</strong> and Welfare) Regulations 1992• Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005• Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002• Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012• Work at Height Regulations 2005The <strong>Safety</strong>, Health and Welfare at Work(<strong>Confined</strong> <strong>Spaces</strong>) Regulations 2001 coverall work in relation to confined spaces.It is the duty of every employer or self-employed person tocomply and implement the provisions of these regulationsin respect to any work being carried out in a confinedspace. The regulations do not apply to any place belowground in a mine (as defined by the Mines and Quarries Act1965) or to any diving operations.The regulations state:• <strong>Confined</strong> space entry is prohibited, providing the workcan be carried out in a reasonably practicable way andby other means• A risk identification and evaluation must be carried outbefore entering a confined space detailing the purpose ofthe work involved• A safe system of work must be completed before entry into the confined space• The person conducting the safe system of work needs tobe experienced, trained and suitably informed about thework involved• It is imperative that a rescue plan is in place, detailing thearrangements in case of an emergency• The emergency arrangements will need to demonstratehow to raise the alarm, the type of rescue equipment,resuscitation equipment and rescue teams, the provisionof correct information, instruction and training is requiredon all these elements identified• Implementation of the rescue planSource: http://www.hsa.ie/eng/Topics/<strong>Confined</strong>_<strong>Spaces</strong>/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2001/en/si/0218.html3 www.arco.co.uk/confinedspaces4


<strong>Confined</strong> SpaceIdentification<strong>Confined</strong> spaces are found in many industries across the world. The existence ofconfined spaces in some workplace environments is reasonably easy to identify andunderstand. Tanks, vessels, sewers and the like are known to be confined spaces topeople in the industry that use them and arrange work inside them.Every year people arekilled or seriously injuredin the UK across a rangeof industries while workingin confined spaces. Highrisk industries include oiland gas, petro-chemical,utilities, shipping andmarine, manufacturingand tank cleaning.The existence of confined spaces inpredominantly commercial, or non-industrialpremises, is less well known. Service ducts,loft and void spaces, some plant roomsand similar areas are found in premiseslike hospitals, universities and other largepremises.The regulations identify confined spaces primarily assomewhere that is substantially, but not always entirely,enclosed. This description illustrates that, for example, anopen topped pit may have easy access but the possibilityof the presence of heavier than air gases would make it aconfined space. Similarly an open topped or open endedcarbon steel tank or container that features rust insidecould also be a confined space due to the lack of oxygen.The secondary, though equally important, considerationwhen identifying confined spaces is the reasonablyforeseeable risk from hazards in the confined spaceor nearby.Some confined spaces will develop during construction;for example the assembly of a tank or process plant,particularly where welding takes place on the inside.Proposed Entry into a <strong>Confined</strong> SpaceWhere a confined space has been identified and theneed to carry out some form of work inside the space isneeded then the following should be considered:-Preventing the need for entry, where work in a confinedspace is required then employers, and the self-employed,have to consider reasonably practicable methods of doingthe work from the outside, thus preventing entry. Thismight be remote sampling, inspection or cleaning forexample. This is a requirement for every proposed confinedspace entry job and subsequent risk assessments shouldidentify and define that this ‘prevention of entry’ processhas taken place.Where the work cannot be achieved by a reasonablypracticable remote or outside system then a safe system ofwork will have to be developed.Developing a safe system of work – the safe system ofwork will begin by a competent and experienced personcompleting a risk assessment. The factors to considerwhen producing a risk assessment are those listed in theforegoing hazard detail section of this guide, as a minimum.Other factors detailed in the approvedcode of practice and to be dealt with inturn where applicable are:-• Supervision• Competence• Testing and monitoring the atmosphere• Gas purging• Ventilation• Removal of residues• Isolation from gases, liquids, other flowingmaterials• Isolation from electrical and mechanicalequipment and stored energy• Selection of suitable equipment• Personal protective equipment and respiratoryprotective equipment (PPE and RPE)• Gas cylinders and internal combustion engines• Gas supplied by pipes and hoses• Safe way in and out• Fire prevention• Lighting• Static electricity• Smoking• Emergencies and rescue• Limiting working timeEach hazard should be addressed in turn andreasonably practicable control measures developedand applied in each case.Ensure personnel at all levels are competent andsuitably trained.5 www.arco.co.uk/confinedspaces6


Hazards to consider beforeentering confined spacesThe main hazards to be considered beforeentering confined spaces are as follows:-Reduced physical dimensions - Which can inthemselves, be hazardous simply because they canmake the way in and out of a confined space difficult tonegotiate and similarly make movement inside restrictiveand increase exertion levels. There is also the possibility ofgases being trapped in low lying areas inside the confinedspace for example where ventilation may be difficultto achieve or maintain. Consideration should alwaysbe given to the possibility of an incapacitated personhaving to be rescued from inside the confined space. Theuse of breathing apparatus and rescue stretchers andequipment becomes much more difficult in areas of smallerdimensions and specifying the right equipment and havingit to hand before the first entry is very important.Lack of oxygen – The normal oxygen level is 20.9%.19.5% is the minimum working level, below which harmcan occur to anyone in the confined space. A lack ofoxygen will affect the functioning of the brain quite quicklyand reduce the affected person’s ability to respond to theirenvironment. Oxygen can be diminished by the presence ofrust or the contents of the confined space or by operationssuch as welding or burning. Materials such as wet grain canalso deplete oxygen. At levels below 16% unconsciousnessand death can occur.Excess of oxygen – The normal oxygen level is 20.9%,the maximum is 23.5%, levels above this figure canincrease the risk of fire, particularly in clothing. Excessoxygen is usually caused by leaking oxy/fuel gas cuttingand welding equipment.Flammable substances – May be present in the confinedspace, and could cause fire or explosion if ignited. Thesecan be from gases, fumes, vapours and dusts and maycome from the confined space contents or from thematerials being used to clean the confined space, forexample a flammable liquid base or propellant gases ofaerosol sprays. In addition to the possibility of the presenceof the above materials, detritus and discarded materialsfrom repair operations in confined spaces can also beignited by hot work operations. Where there is a possibilityof flammable substances being present in a confined spacethen suitable equipment, including electrical equipment,will have to be specified to eliminate the risk of a sparkor ignition source. Static electricity can also be a sourceof ignition in confined space operations where flammablegases and vapours are present as can incorrectly specifiedelectrical equipment.The possible presence of toxic gases fumes andvapours – Which can be identified using correctly specifiedatmospheric testing equipment. Consideration shouldbe given to the possibility of gases trapped in residuesand sludge, scale or animal waste which may not havebeen identified by initial atmospheric testing and may bedisturbed and released by someone in the confined space.Toxic gases, fumes and vapours may contaminate theconfined space from outside; from nearby processesor vehicle exhaust fumes for example. Where work inexcavations is taking place then the contamination cancome from hazardous substances previously depositedin the ground or from natural sources such as limestoneproducing carbon dioxide.The unintended ingress of materials – Can occur whenconnected pipes, ducts and conveyors etc. are not isolatedand disconnected from the confined space. Considerationshould be given to the delivery or supply system for thenormal contents of the confined space, the back-flow fromany exit methods from the area such as pipes and sumps.Liquids unintentionally entering the confined space maycause drowning or the liquid may have corrosive or toxicproperties. Powders and granulated materials, such assugar, grain and sand can submerge someone in a confinedspace and prevent them from breathing.Excessive heat – Can also create problems for peopleworking in confined spaces. Excessive heat can causeheat stress, leading to heat stroke and unconsciousnessand possibly death. The heat can come from a plant, suchas boilers or oven that has not had sufficient cooling timebefore entry or from the use of steam cleaners or hot waterhigh pressure jetting systems. The effect of the sun’s rayson steel tanks and vessels can also cause the internaltemperature to rise.Inadequate ventilation or the lack of chilled ventilation alongwith the confined space entrants wearing chemical protectionsuits, which impair natural body temperature control, canexacerbate the heat problems in confined spaces.Other hazards - There are a number of other hazards,already referred to in the Legislation section, that can createproblems for anyone entering a confined space. Typicallythese could include hazardous substances, includingbiological, other than those causing the specified problemsabove, mechanical and electrical hazards or a combinationof both, noise and vibration, lack of light and so on. Whilstthese hazards are not specified in the confined spacesregulations they will still have to be considered, once the riskis assessed and where the risk cannot be prevented, suitablecontrol measures must be provided and take into accounteach hazard’s own regulation or approved code of practiceand guidance if applicable.Manufacturing or constructing new plants,buildings or infrastructureWhere a new plant is being manufactured which will be afixed structure or where new construction is taking placethen the requirements of the Construction, (Design andManagement) Regulations 2007 will have to be taken intoaccount. These regulations require the safe construction,maintenance, cleaning and demolition of structures andbuildings so, by default, the minimisation of the presence ofconfined spaces will be a requirement.7 www.arco.co.uk/confinedspaces8


<strong>Confined</strong> SpaceEntry ProcedureIs it a confined space?Identify foreseeable specified risks<strong>Confined</strong> SpaceEntry Competenceand TrainingPersonnel involved in confined space work whether those entering or thosein support or preparing safe systems of work should be experienced andcompetent, both in confined space entry and the task to be undertaken. If not itis essential that they undergo a full practical training programme.Yes<strong>Confined</strong> Space Regulations applyDoes the space meet the specified risks highlighted inthe regulations governing the entry to confined spaces?Can the work be carried out in another way to avoid entry or work inthe confined space that is reasonable practicableNo• Risk assess all aspects of the work relating to the confined space• Risk assess all identified hazards inside and outside the confined space<strong>Confined</strong> Space Regulations do not applyYesNoSafe system of workto be developeddemonstrating thealternative workmethodThe requirements for all confined space training are detailedin The <strong>Confined</strong> Space Regulations 1997.The training should equip personnel withcompetency and understanding of:• The need for preventing entry into confined spaces,as far as is reasonably practicable• The hazards and the control measures andprecautions• Safe systems of work and, if appropriate, the use ofpermits to work• How emergencies arise, emergency procedures, howto follow them and the dangers of not doing soTraining will also include a practical element to realisticallysimulate confined space conditions and working. Thisshould be practised thoroughly to ensure competence.This practical training will also confirm a person’s suitabilityfor work in confined spaces; whether they are physicallyfit and able to enter the space, for example if they sufferfrom claustrophobia.Refresher training will be required periodically and itstiming will depend on the continued experience afterinitial training. For example, those completing training andworking on a small number of jobs immediately afterwardsare likely to have forgotten much of the training if a periodof months passes before the next confined space entry job.Additionally, personnel will need training on the use of itemsof equipment involved in safe confined space entry; suchas gas monitors, self-rescue breathing apparatus, possiblyself-contained breathing apparatus, and personal protectiveequipment along with any equipment used.Develop a safe systems of work with the following considerations:• Risk Assessment• Method statement• Permit to work• Competence at all levels• Training• Atmospheric testing• Ventilation• Monitoring• Inspection• Personal protective equipmentand respiratory protectiveequipmentDevelop a rescue plan and ensure those involved at all levels aresuitable trained on the rescue procedure, communication systemand the equipment involvedCarry out work in the confined space<strong>Arco</strong> Training &Consultancy Courses:<strong>Arco</strong> Training andConsultancy can providetraining on Dynamic RiskAssessments, Safe Systemsof Work, Permit to Work and<strong>Confined</strong> Space Entry TrainingSource: The <strong>Confined</strong> Space Regulations 19979 www.arco.co.uk/confinedspaces10
