Ensuring safety in confined spaces

Aconfined space is any space large enough for someone to enter and perform assigned work, which has limited means of entry or exit, and which is not designed for continuous worker occupancy. This covers just about every industry, including utilities, construction, hydrocarbon exploration and processing, petrochemicals, marine, agriculture, food processing and brewing, and emergency services.

Employers must assess the risks such workplaces pose to employees.

In most cases, the assessment and the safe working system will require testing of the atmosphere with gas detection equipment.

Crowcon's Gas-Pro multi-gas detector is suitable for this purpose.

Robust and simple to use with a bright, easy to read display and long battery life, it enables personnel entering confined spaces to focus on the task in hand, safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is watching their back.
