Low, medium and high risk environments
We are fully trained to supply electrical services in challenging environments. Our experienced and skilled workforce will ensure all risks and hazards are assessed to ensure the work is completed on time, on budget and most importantly, delivered safely.
Working in confined spaces
All you need to know about our approach to working in challenging, high, medium and low risk environments.What is a confined space?
A confined space is one which is both enclosed or largely enclosed and has a reasonably foreseeable specified risk to workers of:
- fire
- explosion
- loss of consciousness
- asphyxiation
- drowning
It may be small and restrictive for the worker or it could be far larger such as a grain storage silo with hundreds of cubic metre capacity.
Hazards
Working in a confined space is dangerous because of the risks from noxious fumes, reduced oxygen levels, or a risk of fire.
Other dangers may include flooding, drowning or asphyxiation from some other source such as dust, grain or other contaminant.
At M-Tech, our engineers are fully trained and highly skilled to deliver all your electrical requirements that are defined to be in a confined space.
The Law
Wherever possible, you should avoid carrying out tasks in confined spaces until you have consulted with a specialist contractor. Get in touch today for expert advice and guidance.Useful links
