CONFINED SPACES AND TANK CLEANING
Over 1 1/2 million workers enter confined spaces on an annual basis. Serious injury or death in a confined space can be the result of asphyxiation, engulfment, electric shock, falls and heat stress. This poses a serious problem for exposed workers and their employer.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that 85 percent of these accidents can be prevented by initiating proper safety precautions such as educating workers, posting danger signs and caution signs. The OSHA Confined Space Standard establishes uniform requirements to ensure that the hazards of confined spaces in U.S. workplaces are evaluated, safety procedures emplemented and that the proper hazard informations is transmitted to all affected workers.At DSC-WEST TEXAS, Safety is our first priority. We provide our personnel with all the proper safety gear which allows DSC- West Texas to safely and effectively complete any type of confined space entry.

The entry supervisor is responsible for determining acceptable entry conditions in a permit space, for authorizing entry and overseeing entry operations and for terminating the entry permit. Confined Space Written Program RequirementsThe hazards that may be present in a confined space are not easily seen, smelled, heard or felt but can represent deadly risks. A permit required confined space is one in which dangerous air contaminants may be generated and may not be removed by ventilation. When an employee works in this type of environment, the chance exists that atmospheres present may be oxygen deficient, combustible or toxic. Prevention of injuries to the life and health of workers requires that they be properly trained and well equipped to recognize, understand and control the hazards they could encounter. In the process of indentifying a confined space, the supervisor in charge should always assume that a hazard is present.24 HOUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM 1-877-372-3798 Due to the complexity of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations and the dangers involved, many companies have elected to outsource confined space projects.
