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.
