Elements and Performance Criteria
- Recognise a confined space
- Select and don required personal protective equipment (PPE) to identify a confined space.
- Review nature of the possible work space and its characteristics.
- Assess possible work space for its potential to be a confined space.
- Determine precautions to be taken in the presence of a harmful atmosphere.
- Identify and assess other hazards and factors associated with the possible work space to determine the level of risk associated with that space.
- Refer identified hazards to appropriate personnel/authority for further investigation and analysis, where uncertainty exists about confined space potential.
- Confirm safety of possible work space.
- Carry out appropriate action after identifying a confined space
