Confined Space Equipment

Confined Space Equipment (Gas detectors etc)

A confined space is any space including chamber, vessel, tank, silo, pit or other similar space that is largely enclosed (not always entirely) that contains a foreseeable specified risk of serious injury. Anyone who enters a confined space must comply with the Health and Safety Hierarchy of Control and recognize the possible dangers, have the proper safety training and protective equipment (PPE) necessary to ensure safety.

The general dangers of a confined space may include a lack of oxygen, poisonous gas, fume or vapour, liquids and solids which can suddenly fill the space, or release gases into it when disturbed, fire and explosions, residues left in tanks, vessels, dust present in high concentrations and hot conditions leading to a dangerous increase in body temperature. Many factors need to be evaluated when looking for hazards in a confined space. There is smaller margin for error. An error in identifying or evaluating potential hazards can have more serious consequences.

We offer a wide range of rescue equipment and entry gear for confined spaces, along with a variety of other items – such as gas detectors and breathing masks – that will always help protect you and your workers during these dangerous conditions.
