Confined Space Safety Regulations
Summary
Relying solely on a 999 standby man and a first aider is insufficient for confined space emergencies. The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 require a detailed rescue plan and trained personnel. Employers must ensure safety under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Gas readings should be taken even in open-top vessels. A standby man must be trained in emergency procedures, communication, rescue techniques, first aid, and atmospheric monitoring. A first aider not trained in confined space rescue is inadequate for an emergency plan.Full Conversation
