Confined space operations are operations carried out in an enclosed or semi-enclosed space, such as pipes, storage tanks, basements, and boreholes. Operators are often faced with risk factors such as hypoxia, harmful gases, high temperatures, and humidity, so special attention is needed to safety issues. By understanding the characteristics and safety management measures of confined space operations, as well as paying attention to personal protection and compliance with operating procedures, the risks of confined space operations can be effectively reduced. At the same time, taking corresponding emergency measures can better cope with the emergency, such as narrow space, poor ventilation, complex working environment. Operators are vulnerable to physical and psychological constraints and operation time and schedule are limited.
Emergency handling of confined space operations
During a confined space operation, if there are any problems, the following emergency measures should be taken:
1. Immediate evacuation: Once dangerous factors are found, the operation should be stopped immediately and the operators should quickly evacuate the construction site.
2. Stay calm: During the evacuation, stay calm and do not panic, so as not to aggravate the danger.
3. Call for police: After the evacuation, it is necessary to call the relevant departments for help and alarm in time, so as to get rescue in time.
4. Cooperate with rescue: After rescue workers arrive at the scene, actively cooperate with rescue work and provide necessary information and help.
5. Post-processing: After the accident is handled, the cause of the accident should be investigated and analyzed, and corresponding measures should be taken to avoid similar accidents from happening again.
