They are usually restricted in access, and are a risk. This equipment is designed to minimize and mitigate these hazards. It includes personal protective equipment emergency response protocols, as well as training. Safety Closed space equipment is designed to safeguard workers from a variety of hazards they could encounter while working or entering within confined spaces. This includes everything from equipment to detect hazardous atmospheres, to rescue and retrieval systems for incapacitated staff. There are many factors that go into determining and assessing possible dangers in enclosed spaces, including the potential for gases and liquids to drown or suffocate an entering. Other environmental issues like steam-related hazards are also considered. Even a minor error could have disastrous consequences in the case of confined spaces. The first step to entering spaces that are restricted is to conduct an entrance assessment. This will determine and evaluate any potential or real hazards. Verifying that oxygen levels are safe (21 percent) and that toxic or flammable gases aren't present are a few of the things that could be performed. If the space is considered to be dangerous the permit must be issued for entry and the entry portal must be clearly marked with permit details, a pre-entry report and test results. Before entering, ventilation must be done either by forced ventilation (such as through the narrowest of openings) or natural ventilation. The test should continue until the results show that the air is breathable, and contains 21% of oxygen and containing no gas that is flammable or harmful. In addition to making sure that everyone who is in the space is prepared for the task, it's essential to ensure
