Confined Spaces - safety compliance cost & compromise

Site:
SafetySolutions

Vendor:
MSA Australia Pty Ltd

Statistics indicate accidents occurring in confined spaces have been more frequent and often more serious than accidents in other workplace environments. This is driven by the fact that when things go wrong in a confined space it is difficult to rapidly respond and an already compromised work area becomes even more compromised. It is no surprise why no other area in safety attracts as much attention as confined spaces.
