Typically, at least a three-person team is required to work in confined spaces: one worker inside the confined space and two workers outside, one of whom serves as a lookout. This is necessary to ensure the worker can be safely removed from the space and receive first aid if needed.

Before starting work in a confined space, it’s important to ensure the safety of the confined space and to be aware of the hazards present there. It’s essential to understand the appropriate methods to handle these hazards using proper work techniques. Additionally, ensure that suitable equipment is available to handle different situations. It is also crucial to verify that all individuals in the confined space have been properly instructed and trained on the risks associated with confined spaces.
