A reminder from the State Institution "Kontexnazorato‘quv": Working inside tanks, wells, manholes, silos, pipelines, and other confined or enclosed spaces involves high hazards. In such environments, strict compliance with established safety regulations is essential to safeguard the lives and health of workers.
⭕️ Prior to starting work, all hazards must be identified and evaluated, and a work permit (permit-to-work) must be officially issued according to established procedures.
⭕️ The atmospheric composition at the worksite—including oxygen levels and the presence of toxic or flammable gases—must be tested using specialized measuring instruments and continuously monitored throughout the operation.
⭕️ The confined space must be ventilated as necessary, and personnel must be provided with personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for the operating conditions.
⭕️ Safe entry and exit conditions must be ensured, and continuous communication must be maintained between the worker inside and the designated standby observer outside.
⭕️ An emergency response plan must be prepared, and all necessary rescue equipment must be made ready in advance to address any incidents swiftly.
⭕️ Energy sources must be reliably isolated and locked out to prevent accidental or unexpected activation of equipment and process systems.
❗️ Remember: Entering confined and enclosed spaces without proper preparation, safety measures, or working alone is strictly prohibited.
🛡 Compliance with occupational and industrial safety standards is a vital guarantee for preventing accidents and preserving human life and health.
