What are the Hazards Involved in Entering and Working in Confined Spaces?

  1. ISOLATION

Isolation of a confined space is a process where the space is removed from service by:

  • locking out electrical sources, preferably at disconnect switches remote from the equipment.
  • blanking and bleeding, securing valves Cargo, ballast, IGS, pneumatic and hydraulic lines
  • disconnecting mechanical linkages on shaft-driven equipment where possible, and
  • securing mechanical moving parts within confined spaces with latches, chains, chocks, blocks, or other devices.
