Confined Space

OSHA Confined Space:

A "Confined Space" is defined as a work environment  large enough for an empolyee to enter and perform work but with limited means for entry or exit.  Tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults and pits fall into this category because they were not designed for continuous employee occupancy.  OSHA requires workers to use appropriate fall protection/rescue equipmentfrom the time the person enters the space until they exit the space.
