Confined Space Procedures

Confined Space.

Confined space defined as a place where the means of entry or exit are restricted because of location, design, construction or contents. It may include tanks, tankers, tunnels, silos, sewers, flues, pipelines, sea containers or vessels. The main hazards encountered in confined spaces are fire or explosion, asphyxiation, toxicity, drowning in liquids or free flowing solids and injury or death if mechanical equipment within the confined space is inadvertently turned on while someone is still inside. These hazards are due to the presence of hazardous gases, vapours, fumes, dusts or the creation of an oxygen-deficient or oxygen-rich atmosphere.

Hazards in a Confined Space

Every confined space must be evaluated (with the help of Multi Gas Detector) for these four types of hazards.

1. Oxygen-deficient atmospheres 
2. Flammable atmospheres 
3. Toxic atmospheres 
4. Mechanical and physical hazards.

The three types of atmospheric hazards are often the most difficult to identify since they might not be detected without the assistance of a Multi Gas Detector.

The following must also be done when using the alternate procedures:

1. Ensure safety before removing a cover and guard opening immediate.
2. Test internal atmosphere (With the help of Multi Gas Detector )(Oxygen, Flammables, Toxins) - observation available to entrant
3. Continuous forced air ventilation
4. Atmosphere periodically tested - observation available to entrant
5. Evacuate immediately if necessary and evaluate what went wrong
6. Verify these procedures were conducted through a written certification

There must be documentation detailing that the space is safe for entry and the pre-entry measures were conducted. This ‘certification’ must contain the date, location of the space, and signature of the person making the verification. The certification must be made before entry and must be made available to all entrants or to their authorized representative(s).

Oxygen-deficient atmospheres

The normal atmosphere is composed of approximately 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. An atmosphere containing less than 19.5% oxygen is considered oxygen-deficient (Ref: Appendx-04). The oxygen level inside a confined space may be decreased as the result of either consumption or displacement.

Oxygen Level	Effect
19.5%	Minimum acceptable oxygen level
15 - 19%	Decreased ability to work strenuously. Impair coordination.  Early symptoms.
12-14%	Respiration increases.  Poor judgment.
10-12%	Respiration increases.  Lips BLUE.
8-10%	Mental failure.  Fainting. Nausea, Unconsciousness. Vomiting.
6-8%	8 minutes - Fatal,  6 minutes - 50% fatal                                      4-5 minutes - possible recovery
4-6%	Coma in 40 seconds.  Death

Flammable atmospheres

Fire or explosions may occur in confined spaces which have

An atmosphere within the explosive limits of the gas (or liquid vapour). Explosive limits (also known as ‘flammable limits’), expressed in percentage, may be defined as the minimum and maximum concentrations of a flammable gas or vapour between which ignition can occur. Concentrations below the lower explosive limit (LEL) are too lean to burn while those above the upper explosive limit (UEL) are too rich.

Explosive/Flammable Limits, Fire and explosion prevention

Work where a flame is used or a source of ignition may be produced (hot work) should not normally be performed in a confined space unless:

All flammable gases, liquids and vapours are removed prior to the start of any hot work. Mechanical ventilation is usually used to:

1. Keep the concentration of any explosive or flammable hazardous substance less than 10% of its Lower Explosive Limit AND 
2. Make sure that the oxygen content in the confined space is not enriched. Oxygen content should be less than 23% but maintained at levels greater than 18%.

Surfaces coated with combustible material should be cleaned or shielded to prevent ignition:

While doing the hot work, the concentrations of oxygen and combustible materials must be monitored to make certain that the oxygen levels remain in the proper range and the levels of the combustible materials do not get higher than 10% of the Lower Explosive Limit. In special cases it may not be possible, and additional precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of the worker prior to entering the confined space.

If a potential flammable atmosphere hazards are identified during the initial testing, the confined space should be cleaned or purged and ventilated, and tested again before entry to the confined space is allowed. Only after the air testing is within allowable limits should entry occur, as the gases used for purging can be extremely hazardous.

Toxic atmospheres

Toxic atmospheres may be present within a confined space as the result of one or more of the following:

1. The product stored in the confined space. When a product is stored in a confined space, the product can be absorbed by the walls and give off toxic vapours when removed or when cleaning the residual material. The product can also produce toxic vapours that will remain in the atmosphere due to poor ventilation.
2. The work being conducted in the confined space. Examples of such work include: welding or brazing with metals capable of producing toxic vapours, painting, scraping or sanding. Many of the solvents used for cleaning and/or degreasing produce highly toxic vapours.
3. Areas adjacent to the confined space. Toxic fumes produced by processes near the confined space may enter and accumulate in the confined space. For example, if the confined space is lower than the adjacent area and the toxic fume is heavier than air, the toxic fume may ‘settle’ into the confined space.

Heart Attacks

First Aid Tips - Heart Attacks

Angina / Heart Attack

• Due to inadequate blood supply to the heart.
• Major killer all over the world
• Speedy treatment and admission to hospital is vital for a positive outcome

Identification / look out for :

• Continuous crushing / constricting pain of the chest (more on left side) may even appear at rest.
• Possible pain  to left arm, left shoulder, jaw and back, but not always.
• Nausea / vomiting.
• Perspiration.
• Feeling of impending doom / death.
• Difficulty in breathing.
• Faintness and dizziness.
• Cold clammy skin.
• Ashen coloured face (pale).
• Pale skin and blue discoloration of skin.
• Initially rapid pulse which weakens
• Confusion.
• Sudden collapse
• Shock.

What to do:

• Make the patient sit down in a comfortable position - Half Sitting using pillows as support.
• If patient has to be shifted / moved do not make the patient exert -  carry the patient with full support.
• Call for Cardiac Ambulance without delay even though they may object.
• Monitor closely, reassure, allow patient to take their own prescribed cardiac medication if they have previous history

• Be prepared to perform CPR should they become unresponsive.

Do not:

• Make the patient exert physically not even a few steps, as it will further deteriorate their condition.
• Allow the person to continue with medical help, it may save their life

Electric Shock

First Aid for Electric Shock

Electric shocks can result in: 

• Slight shocking sensations 
• Muscle spasms 
• Seizures 
• Interrupted breathing 
• Irregular heart beats 
• Third degree burns (at the spots where the electricity enters and exits the body) 
• Unconsciousness

People can be electrocuted when they touch high-tension wires that fall during a storm or are struck by lightning. A bolt of lightning carries as many as 30 million volts, more than 250,000 times the voltage of ordinary household current. July is the most dangerous month for lightning. Take care when rescuing someone who has been electrocuted so you do not become a victim as well. 

Prevention

• Take a first aid course that covers electrical burns, electric shocks as well as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). 
• Install ground-fault circuit-interrupters (GFCIs) in wall outlets located in bathroom, kitchens, basements, garages and outdoor boxes. These act as circuit breakers. When an electrical appliance falls into the water, the current is instantly cut off. 
• Cover all electric sockets with plastic safety caps so children can't stick their fingers or a metal object in the sockets. 
• Replace worn cords and wiring. 
• Never use an electrical appliance, like a radio or curling iron, near water. Only buy hair dryers and curling irons that have built-in shock protectors. 
• Never turn electrical switches on or off, or touch an electric appliance with wet hands, while standing in water or sitting in a bathtub. 
• Know the location of fuse boxes and circuit breakers in your home and place of work. 
• Remove the appropriate fuse or switch off the circuit breaker before doing household electrical repairs. Turning off the appliance or light switch is not enough. 
• Pay attention to weather warnings. Find a safe place inside, away from windows and doors. And, don't iron or use the telephone during a thunderstorm. 
• Avoid tall trees, metal items, open water and high ground during a thunderstorm. If you are caught outside, look for a ravine or other low-lying place and crawl in. 
• Install a lightning rod on your house.

Epilepsy

First Aid Tips - Epilepsy


Identification / look out for:

• Twitching of limbs, shaking or rigid body.
• Abnormal eye movements.
• Confusion
• Unconsciousness
• Unusual breathing pattern.
• Clenched jaw
• Frothing at the mouth.

What to do:

During Seizure:
1. If possible try to ease the patient's fall.
2. Try to protect the head 
3. Try to maintain some privacy for the casualty                   

After Seizure:
1. Remove tight clothing.
2. In unconscious patient use the Recovery Position
3. Usually patient recovers on his own in his own time.
4. If time lapsed is more than 10 minutes or if first convulsion,
        seek immediate medical help / ambulance.

Do not:
1. Feed (liquid or solid) by mouth.
2. Gag the patient or put anything in the mouth.
3. Restrain the patient during the attack.

Work Safe

Head Protection

All personnel shall be issued safety helmets, which shall be used at all times by personnel while on the site. Helmets shall have stickers to identify the contracting company they belong.

Safety helmets which are used daily have a realistic life of about 3 years & should be replaced even if showing no obvious signs of damage, etc.

Electrical Hazard

Hand Safety

know right way to wash Hands and stay healthy Green Yatra

Good hand hygiene by healthcare workers has been shown to be the single most important preventative measure to reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infection. It is a simple, important action that helps prevent and control cross-infection.
Every practitioner is personally responsible for their hand hygiene, and must actively seek to promote and safeguard the interests and well being of patients.
Before hand washing, rings, watches and bracelets must be removed (most hospitals will allow the wearing of a plain band wedding ring only; ensure that you are aware of local policy).

Forklift Safety Check List

Be sure to stick them onto your forklifts. They’re made
of wipe-clean plastic, so they’re able to be reused again
and again......
