• Monitoring is in place for hazards which can develop after entering the confined
space

understood and followed.
Drowning
Spaces that are not fully drained or dry can pose a risk of drowning. It takes relatively little
standing water or other liquid to create a drowning hazard. For example, insufficient
oxygen or the presence of a toxic material can make a worker unconscious, which makes
them vulnerable to drowning if they fall face down into a small pool of water. Never work
alone where there is a risk of drowning.
WARNING:
Bear in mind the risk of drowning.
