According to OSHA, 20 workers die each year in confined spaces. As many as 238,853 establishments in the United States contain more than 4.8 million permit-required confined spaces. About 60% of confined-space injuries are sustained by the rescuer.
Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered “confined” because their configurations hinder the activities of any employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. In addition, there are many instances where employees who work in confined spaces face increased risk of exposure to serious hazards. In some cases, confinement itself poses entrapment hazards. In other cases, confined space work keeps employees closer to hazards, such as asphyxiating atmospheres or the moving parts of machinery.
