04 · Enclosed spaces
Respect the enclosed space
Enclosed spaces such as tanks and voids are among the highest-risk places in a yard or on a vessel. Enclosed Space Entry is a featured course at the Training desk.
Yard crews working with fitters and welders benefit from the same habits: permits, ventilation checks and a watcher at the entrance.
