Confined Space Consulting

Workers are killed or injured every year while working in or around confined spaces. Failure to determine if confined spaces exist, or failure to evaluate and control the potential hazards prior to entering a confined space can be deadly.

Our consultant will visit your workplace and with the assistance of your key personnel (workers, maintenance, engineering, supervisor) will help you understand and determine if confined spaces are present in your work environment. Depending on your needs, we can develop a fully customized Confined Space Program which includes the following:

• Inventory List
• Hazard Assessment of each space
• Entry Plan for each space (procedure)
• Entry Permit
• Hot Work Permit & Program
• Coordination Document
