Some important procedure to prior the entry

                                                In addition to standard Ppe an assessment  will be carried out to determine4 additional PPe requirements.Such as fall protection , Respiratory protection etc.Workers will be trained in the proper use of all ppes  & will be familiar with their limitations.Natural ventilation in confined space is minimal.There fore ventilation by mechanical means shall all ways be made available.

                                                Ventilation equipment will be positioned so that contaminated air such as  exhaust gasses and welding fumes are not drawn in to the confined space .Equipment used in or near a flammable atmosphere will be explosion proof.Steam or inert gas purging is recommended for removing flammable vapours.Where purging & ventilation are not adequate to provide sufficient atmosphere.Workers will use a suitable breathing apparatus prior to entry in to a confined space the atmosphere will be tested,and then again predetermined intervals.
