Definition of a confined space:
A confined space is any location or enclosure that presents or has the immediate potential to present one or more
of the following conditions:
An atmosphere with less than 19.5% or greater than 23.5% oxygen and/or more than 10 ppm Hydrogen
Sulfide (H
2
S).
An atmosphere that may be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers.
Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation, could result in injury, impairment of health or death.
Confined spaces are not designed for human occupancy. They have restricted entry and contain known or potential
hazards. Examples of confined spaces include manholes, stacks, pipes, vats, switch vaults, and other similar
locations.
Standard safety procedures must always be followed prior to entry into confined spaces and/or locations where
hazardous gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers may be present. Before entering any confined space check with
your employer for procedures related to confined space entry.
