Ensuring that any works within a confined space are adequately supervised by a competent person is a key stipulation required by UK law. An appropriate safe system of work should define the measures implemented for supervising and controlling the entire working party entering a confined space.
All people entering and working in a confined space require sufficient training and must be competent for the required task. Consideration also needs to be made in relation to assessing the suitability of each individual, this should include build, level of physical fitness, and any known medical conditions.
Emergency preparedness is a vital aspect of planning works within a confined space environment. Dependent on the type and level of risks identified, characteristics of the confined space, and the nature of the works being undertaken, a designated confined space rescue team may be necessary to readily action a pre-planned emergency procedure.
