<h2 style="color: #008080;">Characteristics of “Confined Spaces”</h2>
Confined Spaces refer to workplaces with limited space, narrow entrances and exits, insufficient heat and air ventilation. They may be places where toxic chemicals, flammable substances accumulate, and oxygen is insufficient, such as oil tanks, fermentation tanks, silos, pipes, tanks, caves, pits, tunnels, furnaces, basements. Gases or vapors generated cannot be ventilated out, possibly inhaling toxic gases into the body, including flammable gases. If danger occurs when entering and working in confined spaces with limited area, other workers outside the space will find it difficult to provide assistance.
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Good Health is Good for Yourself, Good for Work, Good for the Organization</h2>
Before entering confined spaces, employees must be physically and mentally prepared according to the standards for safety management, occupational health, and working environment in confined spaces B.E. 2547 (2004). This not only benefits the examinee but also benefits coworkers, work efficiency, and the organization. Those working in confined spaces must undergo health assessments at least once a year to receive a work permit.
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Dangers That May Occur from Working in Confined Spaces</h2>
Many limitations in working in confined spaces, both in terms of air and location, may cause danger to workers in emergency situations. Good health can reduce severity up to death, such as oxygen deficiency, accidents during work, fires due to gas explosions (Combustible Gas), dangers from inhaling dust, toxic gases, very high or low temperatures, hearing and vision efficiency in insufficient light to escape the area promptly in emergencies.
