How to identify a confined space
Under the Safe Work Australia model and Australian Work Health and Safety Regulation 5, the defining criteria of a confined space are:
- Either fully or partially enclosed; and
- Not designed primarily for human occupation; and
- Designed to be at a normal atmospheric pressure; and
- Contains at least one of the following health and safety hazards:
- an atmosphere with unsafe oxygen levels
- a contaminant (gases, vapours, dusts) that may cause injury from fire or explosion
- harmful concentrations of an airborne contaminant
- the potential for engulfment
