Working in containers and confined spaces

Tight spaces, demanding work and contaminated air...
Working in confined spaces places high demands on employees

In many work areas there are confined spaces. These areas are often so small that employees are limited as to how they can enter them, work within them and exit them safely. These conditions, together with the risk of contaminated air make the environment especially hazardous to work within.

There are confined spaces in many sectors: They include, waste management companies, the chemical and petrochemical industries, oil and gas production, shipping, transport and logistics, container construction and maintenance, agriculture etc. Applications include working in or on tanks, boilers and fractionating columns, containers, silos, shafts and canals, pits, pipes, cavities and storage rooms, sewage plants etc.

Personnel must be trained for the tasks, equipment must be fully maintained and ready for operational use. Then there is sample measuring requirements for safe entry levels, followed by the actual work itself. All of which Dräger can support you with.
