Confined Spaces

Hundreds of people lose their lives to accidents in confined spaces each year across the globe, from combustible gases, toxic substances or conditions within the space such as a lack of oxygen. Quite simply, being unaware of dangerous levels of gases in confined spaces costs lives. This happens in a wide range of industries and it includes the people working in the confined space and those who try to rescue them without proper training and equipment.

Across the globe, there are requirements for employees to have suitable safety equipment to mitigate risk of potential harm. When it comes to working in confined spaces around gas hazards, portable gas detection is essential for safeguarding human life. That’s why we take an uncompromising approach to protection in confined spaces.

Confined spaces requiring portable protection

There may be a variety of areas across your site that could be classified as a confined space, which you may not have considered. Most workplaces have some areas which could be categorised as ‘confined spaces’, because although not intended for people to occupy them, it may sometimes be necessary to do so to perform certain jobs, such as maintenance of silos, storage bins, tunnels, manholes and more.

At Crowcon, we can consult on your specific site needs and identify such areas and their specific safety requirements, to ensure you’re fully protected from the hazards of working in confined spaces.
