SIGNS OF A PROBLEM
Lack of Oxygen:
• Shortness of breath
• Disorientation
• Coordination problems
• Weakness
• Nausea and Vomiting
WORKING IN A CONFINED SPACE

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMIT


• Confined Space

• Scope of the work

• When the work will


be done

• How long the work


will take

• Names of all team


members and their
duties
• Where oxygen deficiency
(atmospheres according to the
standard minimum 19.5%-22.5%
is the maximum range for
oxygen) or a hazardous
atmosphere exists or could
reasonably be expected to exist,
such as in excavations in landfill
areas or excavations in areas
where hazardous substances are
stored nearby, the atmospheres
in the excavation shall be tested
before employees enter
excavations greater than 1.25m
in depth
WORKING IN A CONFINED SPACE

Confined Space Entry Permit


The Confined Space Entry Permit is
used to record all tests and checks.
It also indicates if the confined space
has been cleared for entry.
Always read the permit before
entering the confined space.
Always sign onto the permit before
entering the confined space.
Always sign off the permit as you
leave the confined space.
Never enter a confined space until a
Confined Space Entry Permit has been
issued.
WORKING IN A CONFINED SPACE

Use 110 volt for lightings with


GFCI during the grass root
operations and intrinsically safe
LIGHTING AND ELECTRICITY
(non-spark producing)
24 volt during situations where
hydro carbon, flammable,and
explosive atmospheres exists.

When using portable electrical


tools, be sure they are;
double-insulated; and
connected to a portable
leakage protection unit.
Suspend all electric power
cables so they do not create
a trip hazard.

INCIDENT
• This is an update on the death of Mr. Harendra
Kumar Vishwakarma, a 33 year old Indian CCIC
welder, who crawled inside a 24-inch diameter
pipe on Sunday, 23 August ca. 9:30 am. Mr.
Vishwakarma apparently entered the pipe to
inspect his work and subsequently
suffocated. He arrived in Qatar on 9 February
2006 to work on the QGX project and had just
returned from a 2-month holiday on 26 July to
join the QCS project to work as a CCIC
welder. The accident occurred on the 3rd level
of Train 7, 53-XH0603 at the 20 m level
Safety begins with teamwork
The safe way is the best way!
