ObjectiveThe objectives of the Confined Space Awareness (CSA) program at

FargeАгд include :

• To comply the OSHA 1994 regulations regarding confined spaces.

• To assess the feasibility of reducing the total number of confined spaces.

• To identify, evaluate, and eliminate potential hazards within the confined spaces prior to entry or within.

• To train employees who may work in confined spaces on proper procedures and entry techniques.

What..

is confined space? Confined space Is a place large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy

OR

confined space is a place which is substantially enclosed (though not always entirely), and where serious injury can occur from hazardous substances or conditions within the space or nearby (e.g. lack of oxygen).

Regulations

• Following The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 must work at always in aware of surrounding

• While working in a confined space, worker must always wear proper PPE under Act of FMA 139 which is proper Gear such as respirators, protective apparel, etc.

Fatality Statistics

• Studies reveal that every year approximately 67 preventable deaths occur in confined spaces

• As many as 60% of the deaths to occur would be rescuers*

• Research reveals interesting facts regarding the causes of deaths in confined spaces– 65% hazardous atmospheres *– 13% engulfment– 7% struck by falling objects– 6% heat stress/exposure– 4% others

* related Background : Fukushima Disaster

Dangers of Confined Spaces

• Oxidation– Rusting of metals– Rotting or decomposing organic materials

• Mechanical Operations– Welding– Painting– Cleaning– Scraping or sandblasting– Missing/stirring operations– Recharging of batteries

• Inerting Activities– Carbon dioxide (CO2)– Helium (HE)– Nitrogen (N2)

Dangers of Confined Spaces

• Oxygen deficiency• By-products of previously stored materials

– Storage tanks retain residue– Product is absorbed into tank walls

• Accidental leaks or spills– Leaks of substances give off vapors or cause reactions– Slip, trip or fall hazard

• Chemical Reactions– Accidental mixing of chemicals – Drying paint– Multiple use tanks

Types of Confined Space Hazards

• Confined space hazards are basically grouped into six groups– Atmospheric hazards– Physical hazards– Engulfment hazards– Corrosive hazards– Biological hazards– Other hazards

Prepared by Zarul Hairee & Ila Dila Printis

Lock-Out/Tag-Out Procedures

• Procedures performed to isolate any potential energy source to the Confined space– Electricity– Hydraulic– Steam– Drive mechanisms– Pneumatic– Gravity flow of product

• Must be Performed by an authorized employee*• Printed tags and locks are used to warn other employees of

isolated energy source

Prepared by Zarul Hairee & Ila Dila Printis

• Examples of lock-out/tag-out*–Electrical switches locked-out–Hydraulic lines blocked and bled–Steam line blind flanged–Drive mechanisms disconnected–Drive belts removed–Liquid valves locked-out–Overhead dumps locked-out

Entry Permits

• Prior to entry to entry supervisor must– Approve the permit *

• Upon completion of entry– Permit must be signed and cancelled by the entry

supervisor *– Permit must be filed and retained at least one (1) year *
