Year: 2007 Language: english Author: IACS Genre: Handbook Publisher: IACS Edition: Rev.2 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 24 Description: Work in confined and enclosed space has a greater likelihood of causing fatalities, severe injuries and illness than any other type of shipyard work or on board ships. The key hazards associated with confined spaces are: — serious risk of fire or explosion; — loss of consciousness from asphyxiation arising from gas, fumes, vapor or lack of oxygen; — drowning arising from increased water level; — loss of consciousness arising from an increase in body temperature; — asphyxiation/suffocation arising from free flowing solid (engulfment) or the inability to reach a breathable atmosphere due to entrapment. Surveyors will routinely enter confined spaces that are difficult to access due to small and/or narrow openings. There may be physical constraints within the space which need to be considered, and the space itself may be cramped permitting only restricted mobility.
