New White Paper on Confined Space Safety published

Alert: For an online, self paced training course on Confined Space Safety, please see the course .

Abhisam is pleased to publish a new white paper on Confined Space Safety.

Confined Space Safety hazards

They are one of the top workplace hazards today. However, even today the concept of a confined space is very vague, in the minds of workers, as well as their supervisors and managers. OSHA (US Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regularly publishes actual confined space fatality statistics, that prove that this is an omnipresent hazard in many workplaces, not just the chemical and other process industries.

This White paper provides three recent cases from different industries and a checklist that helps identify confined space hazards in your own workplace.

The 5 point checklist, can be used to evaluate whether a workplace qualifies as a confined space or not.

The White paper also describes three actual incidents of confined space related accidents, that resulted in fatalities. Two of these were in the US mainland and one was in a US Administered territory. In all three cases, there are similarities that have been analyzed in this excellent white paper that you must read, in order to prevent future similar accidents.

The White paper can be accessed online for free at the Abhisam whitepapers section here.

Note that it includes all the knowledge that you need to have to know how to work safely in confined spaces.

Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?

There is a common myth “Just Google it”

It is a myth that you can simply Google for Confined Space information and get everything that you need to know.

Most likely you will get a large number of occupational safety articles and information, some videos, some power point slides, but much of the information may be in bits and pieces.

While you can get some basic information about confined space safety from these sources, it may not be complete. Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.

Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from an OSHA compliance perspective

Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!

Can I not simply buy a book? That will be much cheaper!

Of course, you could always pass this up and decide to go for buy a book on this topic,

but,

remember that there are some disadvantages with this approach

1. The first is that not a single book is available that covers all the topics that you need to know. On the other hand, there will be many books on general workplace safety, occupational safety, permit systems, that may be relevant to only those working in normal workplaces, not those having confined spaces.
2. Some of these books may be outdated and obsolete.
3. Nobody gives you a certificate if you simply read a book!
