Enclosed spaces present unique hazards that require careful attention and adherence to safety protocols. These areas can have limited access, inadequate ventilation, and the potential for toxic atmospheres, making it essential for crew members to understand the risks involved. Key roles in enclosed space operations include the attendant, who monitors safety, and the entrants, who must follow strict procedures to ensure their safety.
Proper communication and teamwork among crew members are crucial to mitigate risks during entry operations. Understanding the responsibilities associated with enclosed space entry is vital for maintaining a safe working environment.
