Frequently asked questions about Confined Space Permit
What is a confined space?
A confined space is any enclosed area with limited access/egress where there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of injury from hazardous substances, lack of oxygen, engulfment, or fire. Examples include tanks, silos, sewers, manholes, excavations, and ceiling voids.
Is a permit to work legally required?
The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 require a safe system of work for confined space entry. While the regulations do not specifically mandate a permit-to-work, HSE guidance (L101) strongly recommends one as the best way to demonstrate a safe system of work.
