Confined Space Entry
OSHA requires employers to ensure that their workers know about the existence, location, and dangers posed by permit-required confined spaces.
A confined space means a space that:
- Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter it,
- Has limited or restricted means for entry and exit, and
- Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
