Rules for Confined Spaces in Construction

 

Understand the applicable rules for construction and best practices to protect workers and avoid costly penalties.

Many workplaces contain areas that are considered confined spaces by OSHA or MSHA, but may not be aware of what standards are required to maintain workplace safety and health when performing construction or other activities that meet the criteria. Confined spaces are not necessarily designed for people but are large enough for workers to enter and perform certain jobs. Examples include tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, ductwork, pipelines, etc. OSHA also has permit-required confined space applicable to confined spaces with additional dangerous characteristics. When fatalities occur in confined spaces, often multiple victims are affected either by health hazards such as oxygen depletion or chemicals or by engulfment or other physical hazards. This session will explain the applicable rules and formal policies for construction at both OSHA and MSHA-regulated worksites, and best practices to protect workers and avoid costly penalties.
