Confined Space, What Can Go Wrong?
FACT:Rescue crews will not attempt a rescue until the scene is safe for their own personnel to respond.
Just because you put yourself in that unsafe situation doesn’t mean they will.
Air Monitoring
• LEL <10%• Oxygen 19.5%-23.5%• CO <25ppm• H2S <10ppm
Always test before making entry!
Continuous air monitoring throughout!
Confined Space By The NumbersFeet deep or greater requires a tripod+winch retrieval systempositions (Entrant, Attendant, Supervisor) which can be done by different people
Use an air monitorLevels are in alarm, clear the atmosphere with an air mover, re-test
Reclassification
Going from a PERMIT space to a NON-Permit SpacePERMIT SPACE
Contains a Physical Hazard
NON-Permit SPACE
Does not contain a Physical HazardReclassification
• Effectively eliminate the hazard• Air movers (Ventilation)• Barricading• LOTO• Continuous Air Monitoring
• Physical Hazards:• Traffic• Atmosphere• Hazardous energy• Illumination• Need for rescue• Etc.
Memory Check
Confined Space:Less than 5’ deep
Contains no physical hazards
Continuous air monitoring
SOLO Entry, Self Rescue

Barricading Your Work Zone
Buddy BaylissPresidentBC&C LLC
We all tend to focus on the task at hand...
Focused on his work a little too muchNo situational awareness
Situational awareness is a good thing!
Safety is all about seeing the Hazards
What is a Barricade?
“Barricade” came to English via the Middle French “barricade”—though
some sources say the Spanish “barricada” is earlier. Regardless, both
are from Vulgar Latin “Barrica” or “barrel.”
The English word “barrel” is directly from the Old French baril“barrel, cask, vat.”
From “Useless Etymology”
For our purposes, a Barricade is:
“A free standing, self supporting physical structure that will increase visibility or prevent a person from
proceeding beyond that point.”
Barricading ConsiderationsWhat are the likely potential hazards?
- Goal of your work?- Do you need visibility, a barrier or both?- Pedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic or both?- Site specific considerations
– (open forecourt vs. a closed site)- Size of the area? - Site Owner/Operator considerations.
– (Be prepared to push back and explain why)
Lots of available tools!
The more visible you are, the less chance you’ll be accidentally struck or run over.
By Barricading, we’re raising the Situational Awareness
of those around us.
In doing so, we protect our people.
Use your vehicles to help block the area
Vehicle blocking the most likely approach with visible barricades on the other
three sides
Vehicles blocking two likely threat directions and increased visibility
with cones and bars
Adding visibility with pennants!
What about Large Vehicles?
Anticipate the Hazard and “Up-size” the Barricading
Visibility & Safety within a larger site...
Make your work area YOURS!Delineate the work area
Remember, Safety is all about seeing the Hazards, understanding those hazards and
neutralizing those hazards.
This comes from a personal commitment, training and education for you and your people, the right equipment and an on-
going focus through leadership.
Are you up to speed on your Safety Manual & Training?
- Safety Manual ... and the training to make it real.- OSHA 10 & 30? First Aid, AED & CPR? Fall Protection?- Confined Space (respirator use/tng, med exam)- Equipment Operator Training - Monthly meetings and daily “tailgate” briefs?- Personal Protective Equipment...is it used?- A Company and personal commitment?- Make use of the PEI Safety program.

“I only had 5 or 6 drinks – I’m okay to drive”
“I will be driving for an hour – let’s text back and forth and work out the details.”
In the last month…
DISTRACTED DRIVING
kills 9 people every day and injures more than 1000
causes more crashes than drunk driving
Teen DD crashes are 3x the rate of any other age group

DANGER VERSUS RESPECT
What happens to our respect for others when we get behind the wheel?
WORRIED ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN AND DISTRACTED DRIVING?
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for our children
More than 50% of teen crashes are caused by distraction
“My mom tells me not to drive distracted but she does it all the time…I guess you could say she is a hypocrite.”
What is the most important thing you can do to keep your children safe from distracted
driving?
What have you been teaching yourChildren about distracted driving?
