Let us understand first what is a confined space?
Spaces or locations just enough to enter, difficult to enter or exit and/or not designed for
continuous human occupancy are generally,to my understanding, called confined space.
For example,confined spaces in a process /chemical industry include but are not limited to
tanks, reactors,pressure vessels,columns, volume bottle ,ducts, pipelines, sumps, sewers,
inside culverts and vaults.
Confined-space incidents/accidents are significant cause of workplace death
and injury.
Associated hazards in confined space vary widely; the most common are:
Unless all the above hazards are completely eliminated by taking appropriate
mitigation measures work execution permit shall not be issued.

A practical, easy to use reference for practitioners of reliability engineering & design for reliability in process industries. Distilled from close to four decades of first hand professional experience of a passionate engineering leader, this blog is an attempt to bridge the chasm between what the text books offer and what the industry demands.
I had no idea that the presence of flammable materials could be hazardous even if there isn't a fire. This information makes the maintenance of small buildings a much higher priority than I thought. I also didn't know that it could delay getting a permit. That is good information to know when maintaining a small building. http://www.ceramictech.net/ceramic-lining-services.html
