Confined space entry is one of the most hazardous activities to be performed in an industrial environment. This booklet raises the awareness of operators to the main hazards, using examples of actual accidents to highlight the potential threats and explain the possible causes, enabling operators to spot potential hazards and adopt safer designs and practices to avoid the occurrence of such incidents. An excellent introduction to the topic for students.Produced by BP and endorsed by IChemE's Loss Prevention Panel, these books were developed to complement safety training. They are ideal reference tools within the workplace, increasing awareness of hazards and helping operators to understand safe operating practices and procedures.
