"The NIOSH training resource manual concerning safety and health in confined workspaces in presented. The manual is intended to provide contractors and others is the construction industry with an understanding of safety and health associated with confined workspaces and the safeguards necessary to minimize hazards. Accidents in confined spaces are considered. Responsibilities for safety and health in confined workspaces are discussed. Essential processes in a confined workspace hazard control program are considered. The characteristics of confined workspaces in the construction industry are examined. An analysis of confined workspace accidents is presented. Preliminary steps for entry into confined workspaces are noted. Safe entry permits are illustrated. Workspace testing and monitoring are discussed. Atmospheric test procedures and instrumentation are described. Ventilation of confined workspaces is examined. Fire and fire protection are discussed. The physiological aspects of work in confined spaces are considered. Noise is discussed. Personal protective equipment, safety equipment, and safe practices are cited."--NIOSHTIC-2.

Safety and Health in Confined Spaces goes beyond all other resources currently available. International in scope, the 15 chapters and 10 appendices cover every facet of this important subject. A significant addition to the literature, this book provides a confined space focus to other health and safety concepts. Confined spaces differ from other workspaces because their boundary surfaces amplify the consequences of hazardous conditions. The relationship between the individual, the boundary surface, and the hazardous condition is the critical factor in the onset, outcome, and severity of accidents in these workspaces. The author uses information about causative and other factors from analysis of fatal accidents to develop a hazard assessment and hazard management system. He provides a detailed, disciplined protocol, covering 36 hazardous conditions, that addresses all segments of work--the undisturbed space, entry preparation, work activity, and emergency preparedness and response--and illustrates how to use it. Safety and Health in Confined Spaces gives you the tools you need for preventing and responding to accidents.

The construction industry has not had a good record on health and safety and faces tough legal and financial penalties for breaches of the law. This book provides a unique resource for all those who construct or procure the construction of projects of all sizes and in all countries and for clients who need to keep abreast of their own and their contractors' responsibilities. It gives practical guidance on best practice, including: measuring performance and recording information developing a safety policy and method statements assessing risk training and understanding people the basics of the construction/environment interface The book addresses several topics not found in other reference works, discussing techniques of health and safety and basic environmental management as applied to the industry. It uniquely provides 50 quick reference guides setting out solutions to common problems. These include falls, manual and mechanical handling, work with asbestos and noise. It also summarises the main UK legal requirements on construction safety and health and includes a number of useful checklists and model forms. Written by a very experienced health and safety practitioner, who is also author of the highly successful IOSH book Principles of Health and Safety at Work, this book will be welcomed by all responsible for health and safety. It will also provide an excellent text for the NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) Construction Safety and Health national certificate.
